i'm giving up on my rooster bloodlines...... i started my flock in 08... had the nicest rooster ever.. he was great, his offspring were great.... then i had a coon attack that wiped out my flock.. so i hatched what eggs i had.. kept 2 roos out of that batch, both turned mean... hatched out some more, kept 2 roos, both mean.... did this 1 more time, again, mean roosters... what sucks is the few people i'm still in contact with, that i gave roosters to, love their nice tame roosters.... so all it took was 1 bad pick out of my hatch to throw a wrench into my flock..... so yesterday i went and got me a sussex roo,, he seems sweet, let's ya pet him/hold him etc... he's still young, 4 months old, so we'll see.... now i'm heading out to catch walter, he's been warned several times..... it's mean rooster chicken soup on thursday night.....
