Hello I'm a fairly new member from mississippi but I get on the site to read alot. My current flock is 12 easter eggers and mix
17 deleware
11 rhode island reds
And I have 2 dozen barred rock eggs in the incubator from good shepard conservancy.
Each flock is separated in there own coops by breed.

We only have a pair. I will say that with the large high comb and those big long wattles, I'm glad we only have 1 roo. His wattle got some frostbite last winter during a few days of -8 temps.

I read the males can be aggressive but not ours. Probably the senior roo let him know right away who was #1. They do free range together and all is well. We don't have a set up for separate breeds in separate coops.

He's handsome.

I have 2 in that coop i sold 1 but prices right now are so low id rather keep both. Iv heard the more production reds can get very aggressive but the breeder stock isn't as aggressive.But it also depends on the line. My goal is true heratage barred rock mainly for meat and eggs. Trying to get away from hatchery stock.
