Thanks!

All Roo's will institutionally protect hens...to a point..but that's why we are here. If you are looking for pure breeding, a RIR. If you're like me, and just enjoy seeing what pops out of the fertile egg, adopt or purchase any local Roo that strikes your fancy.

Thanks! That's very helpful. I've only had RIR's and barnyard mutts thus far, so this is my first set of "pure bred" chickens.

It's the best! *insert sarcasm here* lol But thank you, that's very helpful.

They were purchased from the local feed store a month ago and were listed as Black laced, so that's what I called them. But thank you. To err is human.

Almost 3 months old, Rhode Island Red-Cuckoo Maran cross. His father is an amazing Rooster, does his job perfect and haven't lost one lady too predators. This guy is shaping up to be like his papa! Would be perfect with his own ladies. PM me with questions or to claim him.

My turn at everyone's favorite game. *yippee* I know Black laced Wyandottes have rose combs, or are supposed too. Pepper (right) has one which is more red than Salt's (left). Pepper also has budding wattles, however no pin or saddles feathers to speak of. Don't mind the cord they were moved to...

Thanks! That's really helpful to know about the white legs. I can't wait to see the mixed colors. March 12 is the expected hatch day.

I pretty much assumed he wasn't after doing some research on them. Was looking for some feedback on what else he could be. Thanks for the reply!

I love this guy, he's a fabulous Rooster! My parents bought him for me when I first got into raising chickens, originally under the auspice he was an Easter Egger, but he's missing most if not all of the key traits. Mainly because his legs are white. I have to double take to make sure he's ok...
