I have Rhode Island Reds. This is my cockerel (his name is Cecil).


I'm going to have to replace him because he's getting too old

He's handsome.
How old is he?
I hate when my chickens get older too!

Thanks.

He's about 2 years old now. I need to get a new cockerel because:
1) His fertility rate will probably start going down.
2) I need a new bloodline. I'm starting to inbreed a little bit.

Yeah,
I have 2 roosters 1 Buff Orpington and 1 Delaware Dorking mix.
The Buff was never fertile.

And I only got 1 baby from the Delaware so I hope more from the Delaware!

Have a good day!

Do you have pics? I love Buff Orpingtons, and Delaware x Dorking sounds pretty!!!

I will have to get a pic of my New Hampshire/Del/Dork crossed hen but here is a pic of my Del/Dork rooster his name is Raphael:

And here is a pic of my Buff Orpington rooster Rusty younger:

 

[The Angry Hen]

Raphael is 2 years old and Rusty is 5 or 6.
Raphael looks like a plain Delaware but he has five toes.
(Like a Dorking)
He is smart, like he'll fly vertically.

 

[Jetblack2004]

Wow, Raphael is so pretty! I love the tail feathers!
Rusty is handsome too! He has a really long top beak.......

-Jet

 

[The Angry Hen]

Thanks!
Yes, I have seemed to notice his beak too!
Raphael just started getting a longer beak, in fact he's not done growing yet!
I have to get more pics soon of Raphael, when I do I'll post them on my profile.
Have a great night!
