Just a quick update, I have had my Jubilee Orpington rooster for a couple months. I am not hatching eggs right now, but he IS doing his job. Last fall, I also picked up 3 Buff Orps pullets, I figured they can go into the project flock too. They probably won't start laying until March or...
Yeah Buff Sussex chicks!!!!!!
His comb is so crazy because during one of the really cold days, he decided he wanted to escape the coop life and struck out on his own. He ended up spending all night out by himself and he got frostbite. He lost all the tips. :D
After bringing the 4 pullets home from Karen's I was looking at my roosters. The one I like the most has a funny tail. All I can think is it must be wrytail. (sp?) Soooo he will be taken out of the breeding group. He was the one whose coloring I liked the best and a little larger in size...
