Ive been watching and waiting too! I ask all the stores when they start getting chicks in but they look at me confused and say thats someone elses job lol. My daughter keeps asking me for more chicks.
I have 11 black polish in my coup. Two are males. One male had the same problem. He was always missing most of his poof. He was second rooster tho. My polish were top in the mixed pen of i dont know how many diffrent breeds. I made sure they were the first in the pen. They are top and all...
The girls are real quiet and calm. But i have yet to see an egg from them. They should be laying soon but with less daylight they may not. My husbands favorite hen is the pure white hen from the same batch.
I am so curious what this rooster is. I picked up about 12 of them at tractor supply in the summer. I was told they were comets. About half were females and the other half males. They looked identical when they were chicks.
Edited to add my husband just said its a Texas Longhorn Chicken.
