Welp... Looks like he'll be goin to freezer camp at the end of summer :(
Man I'm sick of roosters. I have the worst luck ever when it comes to getting hens...
Is this "BCM" supposed to have this kind of coloring on its back? I talked to the guy I got them from and he told me his wife mixed some olive eggers in the pen by accident and he'd let me keep them and give me a Marans of my choice.
Also I have 2 EE hens that I've had for about a year now. If I hatch their eggs with them being fertilized by a Blue Copper Marans what would be the outcome?
All of them? He has olive eggers??? But they're in a completely separate pen. I've seen the pullets momma and daddy. What makes em look like they are mixed? I really would like to start my own hatchery/egg selling but I don't want to sell someone something they're not if you're saying they're mixed.
Oh and correct me if I'm wrong but is the OEGB the roosters they used to fight? If I'm thinking of the same ones my friend has one that he called a gamecock and told me that was the breed that ppl used to fight back in the day and he was by far one of the prettiest if not the prettiest rooster i...
Wow... A chicken hug... whodathunk it :) lol... I'll have to try that when I get home... Thank you very much for the info I really appreciate it. Hope I can bug you with some more questions later when I have em ;)
That's funny about the lil rooster beating up the big one... What is a OGEB? (I'm a Newb) Also, do you know of any way to make them more friendly and less skiddish?
Ok... It's hard getting good pics because they're very skiddish right now. I just got them from a breeder about a week or so ago so that may be because they're adjusting??? Is there anyway to make them less skiddish? I go out in the pen everyday and try to feed them treats from my hand but...
Well that's good... I had a RIR Rooster that I rescued and he got a lil aggressive with me so he got sent to freezer camp. I have a 3 and 6 year old daughters so I can't have an aggressive rooster because they're my big time helpers and love to play and hold the chickens, so that might work out...
Ahh ok... I have a Blue Maran Cockerel thats about 10 weeks old he thinks he's king till he messes with the EE's then they put him in his place for now.
