As you've been a member for a while, you may have found others who breed for the SOP. From what I have read this year, it seems large hatchery stock has gone downhill in quality.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.
