    Will they ever get along?

    Hello everyone. I have recently decided that my eggs lately have been hatching rather small birds. My Roo is to blame. He is an old English game but small some would say bantam. I decided to go to the other end or the scale and get me a Buff Orpington. I have found my guy he is a whopping 12lbs...

    broody turkey hen

    Thank you all. This helps a lot I was thinking she was a great mother for taking all the eggs and she guards them with her life. If you get anywhere near her she will HONK at you and gets very angry. Now I am less worried about all this.

    Speckled Sussex is this a roo?

    Thanks for the input. I really hope they are pullets. With you two saying they might be that makes me feel better. I already have a Roo he is an OEGB. The chicks off of these two should be beautiful.

    Hello I have a Roo but what breed?

    I do believe your right about the OEG but he is a little bigger than the bantam version. Sense the OEG is a small bird do you think he is still a bantam?

    Hello I have a Roo but what breed?
