In January I was down to one rooster (the sole survivor since 2021) and 2 hens. You don't find adult Japanese bantams around here, especially in colores not common.how many pullets and hens do you have? And how many roosters and cockerels do you have?
So I decided to get fertile eggs from breeders in Germany and France. From 52 eggs finally 9 hatched and are alive.
My own couple raised 9 chicks, I kept the two oddly colored.
And recently I found 4 adult hens in black, chocolate and golden neck. Knowing how fast you can loose birds I bought them to have a "stock"
I want to have a millefleur/godenneck/mottled group and a black/chocklate/Lavender group.
So far I have 1 rooster, 6 hens (all colores combined) and 11 chicks (2-6) weeks where are surely 4 cockerels.
I'll keep one millefleur, the old rooster (5y now and because he's just to nice) and finding me a black or blue rooster in a few months. And 8-10 hens in total. Fortunately I have a lot of space.
