Ron, sorry to hear that. This breed has had some very bad luck the last few years, which does not seem to be related to their utility or hardiness. Even now with the weather turning colder my young cockerels seem to want to sleep outside at night. With both you and Crystal loosing your flocks that really cuts down on breeding birds. There are just not that many of them around, which is why I am reluctant to dispatch my extra cockerels - I may end up keeping one or two, even if it means providing water this winter (ugh). Hopefully next spring we can get a few more flocks going. John was kind enough to send me eggs last year when Crystal had to back out. I would be happy to send along some eggs too.
