Yes thanks jed nicely put i think you are spot on. he has only been in that pen for a week, still settling in and the girls are giving him a hard time, think he also has a slight limp atm. I too think maybe maybe not so will give him time I think.
Yes trying to breed to standard and trying to learn to train my eye for right qualities. I think he may have too much red and not sure of his comb. Recommendations welcome
Will 4 pullets be enough not to get pecked by the room I read somewhere that should be 6-8 hens per 1 roo.
Will I be able to keep the roo ? What are the negatives.
Thanks for your comments
