Using one of my Reese males with SC RIW females. They also gave very pretty females and they were darker but still had the white. I did not do this this year but am saving some of my SC RIW females chicks for another go during next years breeding season. The males are either going to be sold or to freezer camp. I may save the best SC RIW male for another experiment. I sold most of my older birds and all of my SC RIWs except the chicks from this years hatch.

Time for an official wedding ceremony, you have an old fashioned girl.
Honestly at this point, I'd try the feather trimming, its not so bad and you can check for bugs at the same time. Then once you have a few more hens you can start culling or not breeding the fluffiest rears. Check the rooster too, he might have feathers blocking the path to the hen.

You are not that far from me. I have lots of roosters. Give them a few more months to mature but you could come and pick one out. I don't have that many pullets so I can't promise I'll have any available. Right now I don't.
I do have 1 roo from last year that I was keeping as a backup. But I clearly won't need him. He has frostbite but is fertile. Right now he is in with a couple of young pullets just starting to lay and a few younger pullets but the eggs I'm getting from his pen are fertile and have been even when I had lots of full size pullets with him. He came from eggs that I hatched from the Fogle hens and a Fogle rooster.
