Thats what I figured. Oh well you can never have too many hens.

Why do you say that about hatchery stock? Just curious?

About ten weeks.

So I ordered chicks from the Welp hatchery. It was a disaster...over half arrived dead and I lost more after that but that's a story for another day. Anyway... From that order I only ended up with one Red Shouldered Yokohama. I wanted a rooster of this breed super bad. I bet it is a hen but...

I only have the two. I think I was told they are a year old. One is pure white and the black one has blue and green feathers in his wings. They have the bluish tint to their lobes and comb.

I'll try to get better pics for you.

So I bought all my chicks together from a hatchery. They hatch and ship the same day. I noticed that my one Red Shouldered Yokohama got his feathers at a much sloweer rate than the rest. He is also the smallest chick. (compared to California whites, cochins) Is there a reason why? Is that...

wish people would dump chickens off at my house !

I guess my last old rooster wasn't much of a gentlemen. I never saw him do any of those things. These new guys I believe are younger (don't know..bought at sale barn). My hens are babies yet... All born the end of May. I had the roosters a week before I introduced my chicks. Its the black...
