At this point, I Don't want to deal with roosters. The Isa Brown rooster that bred my Isa Brown hens was the meanest, nastiest rooster I had ever been around. He would try attacking me through the fence even. Grrr* I raised him from a wee bitty chick & that's the thanks I got. Geesh...First If you breed a RIR male to Barred Rock females you will get Black Sex-Links. The ISA Browns are excellent layers.
He now lives across the road with my neighbor...
I had quite a few heart breaks as I hatched out eggs. A lot had slipped tendons. A few I culled, a few I kept & am taking special care of them. My heart just can't handle the heart break anymore so I've opted out of ever hatching out chicks. I now will stick with buying live chicks & raising them.
