I've never had a hen like that !!! I have hens in with my wife's cochins and silks . no issues. also good mamas and hatchers. im with boggy on all other .
I love mine but have cost me a lot of time and money I had to get birds shipped . I don't know how much you know about them but they do need a lot of room and sand floors in pens . also high perch's. boggy might be able to fix you up with some .
should have some around you some where need to go to local show you wheel find all you want . 3 weeks ago I went to a show and came home with 10 new birds . most came from NC.
Watch for those res genes pop up at any time . I second buying the books if you wanting to breed and show could save you years in breeding for rare colors and traits. Are find a good mentor.
Got the stud cock from a friend that had know idea of blood line. He is a cull. He is one that gets to free range he is good yard art. He is from birds that have the nmg .
I live in the sticks and we can have anything we want I have over 100 and 15 roos making all kinds of noise . Think Nashville approved small flock with no roos
I guess chickens can have bad day also lol. I have a black Oegb that is mean I've worked with him for some time and he is not any better he jest a mean roo . I like him though. He is my best breeder
This year is are first year showing. We have been working on are show birds for five years now their was always something that we wanted to improve before we started showing
