There seems to be much conversation about a few of my males. I thought I would post some thoughts here. The first we will call Orange 4. I gave him the name Warchief.
The second rooster is Orange 3. I gave him the name Gladiator.

The cockerals off of them this year are starting to look good. Too bad feed is going up, or I would keep more of them. I hatched quite a few bantams also this year and I like them since they don't eat so much......
Rich,
I am glad to see you are still raising those birds. They are looking good, it does take to about 10 months before they fill out . Here are the ones I used as breeders this year and they are 11 months old here.....
You have to keep the protein to them to get the meet and feather...
As previously mentioned, if the book is out of copyright, then maybe the Rock club could print some and use as a fundraiser, what do you think Bob? I have a copy of it.....

The ones with pink bands on came from you, as well as the pullet.
I'll have to say, I stand by my comments makes no difference from whoever they came, the pullet seems nice on the type. If those pink banded cockerels really look like that at ease, then I'd keep the best one, maybe...
My printing company printed that booklet. Do you have a copy? I have turned this place upside down looking for one.
You know I do! Start where you are with what you have.......
A rock breeder has to have that. I also have several books from Jull, Rice and Card, a couple of Plymouth rock...
