    Does he have copper? He's looking really good. Comb + structure looks decent. Is he a nice guy? :)

    Yeah I'm offloading some hens this weekend. Downsizing my EE's + A few BCM's that aren't up to my standard. (Yellow Legs/No Feathers/Tail Bad etc.). Slowly downsizing before winter. I'll share my barn design when it gets closer to build time etc. :ya So far it will have 4 stalls, and I'm...

    I got 5 BCM's all are very similar. One is over melanistic (almost lacking copper). But otherwise they look pretty good. I This could be barring. She's very flighty, and her tail I agree so I might end up having to do a cuckoo pen now. I'll try and get some more pics today when I get a second...

    The one on the right is the third, his tail is much better, but he has more gold in his neck. My blue copper hens have like minimal copper if any. If i wanted to do copper less blue/splash I could technically. I didn't think about this, bu the splash is considered copperless. How does the...

    yeah the splash guy I think his face and relative structure looks okay. He's my only splash I have here currently so he's being kept for long term. The blue is really nice tbh in person I forget how stunning he is, but we have had multiple people comment saying if I ever get rid of him to let...

    Also side note. I do like my OG rooster (rex), but he has too much gold. I hate saying I breed for personality but if I can have good personality + SOP I would take that over a perfect bird and them being a complete psycho lol.

    100% agree! Oh you are good! I just am learning and want to make the best selections I can with what I have. I don't want to introduce a bigger issue down the line either. (Poor genetics, poor standards, or obvious DQ's). Like most of the locals don't care as they will never show birds. And...

    There is also three of the BCM, One over melanized, one with the squiggly tail, and then one that's not too bad but has a good bit of gold. The thing is currently my main BCM has too much gold, and tail is not good. The other thing to note is the Blue CM has a great personality (gentle/sweet). I...

    I also have two GCM's in the mix. Right tail is not good, left tail is much tidier. I could in theory keep a few of them and put them in their own run/coop out in the lawn and just move it for grazing.I think my wife would only slightly disown me for keeping back up roosters in a bachelor pen lol.

    New Goose Owner Questions

    In sebastopols you cannot sex them accurately besides the saddling if you know both parents are solid white and no color carrying. Bill color is not different in sebastopols besides greys which will have the darker bills, and blues occasionally. They will not differentiate between ganders/hens...

    Need Opinions! (Goose & Chickens)

    I'm doing a build out this next year where I'm wanting to have a small barn done for my multiple flocks (Geese/Chickens). Ultimately I'm going to have 2 geese stalls, 3 chicken stalls with runs on each that come out. What's the minimum size barn you would do? I have a bunch of space to do...

    Not the best picture, but the one to the right has the better color/structure (tail etc). The low color saddled boy has the best color hackles etc (mahagony/no yellowing), but he's not got barely any color on his back sadly. The splash I think is the best, he's copperless, but I don't plan on...
