    Just be very observant while where he could get you or kids. I had a roo I got as a 8-10wk old. He was a red/black/yellowish cross of who knows what. Till he was about 18 months he was gone with me in their pen, picking up the OG's and talking to them. He then started in crowing at me when I'd...

    All black barred rock at 8 weeks.

    Your's sound adorable! Pic? I've come to decision, from answers here and just web research, that he had one parent bared rock and one was either pure araucana or had a lot of the dominant genes of araucana. Cause he has no triangle tail bones and looks like 3/4 of a chicken lengthwise lol. Poor...

    Just noticed today poor Midget has lost his up curling feather 😩 and almost to lose his one long feather. I'm sure his testosterone will carry him threw the shame of no roo tail feathers tho 🤭.

    Sorry just saw this. He never had a tail bone nor tail feathers. Since he's sapphire olive egger I'm guessing he inherited an araucana gene for no tail bone lol

    Good descriptions. No e of these looked like my buff orphs as chicks. I have sapphire olive eggers, Americanas and sapphire gems from Hoovers and none looked like your 10 either.

    No it doesn't sound stupid. That's how we learn by asking questions right? From what I've read so far, just having no tail bone doesn't cause health issues. Also from what I've researched, when used for breeding their offspring have a higher chance of having progressively shorter backs (guessing...

    She looks a lot like my Sapphire Olive Eggers except she doesn't have the gorgeous top knot of feathers that stick up on top of head. She's sweet looking. And lil miss nosey behind her looks upset she's not the center of attention. Lol. If she is for sure she may or may not lay blue or green...

    I am torn. I'd like to see what some of his chicks would end up looking like. But with having lower fertility rate cause of being tailless. And from what I've read the further on you breed ones without a tail (say his daughter or granddaughter back to him) you end up with birds with shorter...

    Midgit matches on lol. I can't get over how huge his comb and wattles are for his all over size. For some reason he reminds me of a cowboy with big ol Stetson on lolol.

    Gorgeous babies there! I got several (they move around so much you can't count how many... That's my story and I'm sticking to it lol) Hoover American's, Sapphire Olive Egger's and Sapphire Gems this spring. All of the hens are love bugs! The gems are a tad more standoffish when reach for them...
