Kim, I never thought I'd give up Sir Giles either but he is so large and even though his breeding pen was generous in size I just really felt it was time to live on the range! He's so lovable and when Sarah lost her favorite roo some time ago, I thought to myself that Sir Giles would be a great substitute. They will be so happy with Sarah's family. I couldn't think of a better place.
As far as the empty pen is concerned.... well the one next to it is for Hampbars (I have 2 german new hampshires with one of my Rhodebar roos), that is if I decide to breed them. So I may have 2 empty pens. We'll see, I'm not really into "making" breeds so I'm going to be looking around for something that I think we are lacking on the west coast. Debi and I have been chatting about show quality speckled sussex. Or I'm also fond of gold neck booted bantams. I do love spotted chickens! WHAT FUN!!!
