There seems to be much conversation about a few of my males. I thought I would post some thoughts here. The first we will call Orange 4. I gave him the name Warchief. The second rooster is Orange 3. I gave him the name Gladiator. Warchief 2011 Gladiator 2011 Warchief 2014...- Ducktang

The cockerals off of them this year are starting to look good. Too bad feed is going up, or I would keep more of them. I hatched quite a few bantams also this year and I like them since they don't eat so much......- Ducktang

Rich, I am glad to see you are still raising those birds. They are looking good, it does take to about 10 months before they fill out . Here are the ones I used as breeders this year and they are 11 months old here..... You have to keep the protein to them to get the meet and feather...- Ducktang

Quote: The ones with pink bands on came from you, as well as the pullet. I'll have to say, I stand by my comments makes no difference from whoever they came, the pullet seems nice on the type. If those pink banded cockerels really look like that at ease, then I'd keep the best one, maybe...- Ducktang

My printing company printed that booklet. Do you have a copy? I have turned this place upside down looking for one. You know I do! Start where you are with what you have....... A rock breeder has to have that. I also have several books from Jull, Rice and Card, a couple of Plymouth rock...- Ducktang

Kathy, I assume all are the same age. Pic one, he is looking good, watch the tail, if it doesn't fill out, don't use him as primary breeder. He does have a nice head and comb as best as I can tell from that pic. Pic two, if he keeps the head that low all the time and the breast hangs down, cull...- Ducktang

Walt, That is a great body on that Rock, that is a great tail, and yes he is leaning forward, but you can tell he has great width of body and breast. I love that "U" top line. Most today have the "check mark V" shape. Hard to find them with width between the legs anymore. Sturgeon was a...- Ducktang

Generally speaking if the feathers are rounded on the ends, it is a female, pointed feathers are males.- Ducktang
