    Sorry to hear you are not doing well. Is this a Blue Copper. We just have to get going, chickens need to be fed, lawn needs to be mowed, garden needs to be weeded. It is spring, best time of the year. I'm 71 years old and thankful for every day

    I always move my hens and roosters after dark, when they are on the roost. Much easier to catch them. We moved baby chics outside today, they were very happy.

    Yes, 2016 I had a rooster "Squeek" with a coronation comb. On another thread everyone said to cull. Partly why you started this thread. You and Chooks Man taught us to find the good in this breed and work with what we have. Thank you so much. STILL WORKING TOM

    It is really hard to get it right. I put 30 eggs, Light Bramha, in the incu 1st of March. All the eggs showed fertile spot in yolks, the ones we checked, before we started the incu. Not one egg developed. I checked all of them and all were like fresh eggs. No rings, no blood, no cloudy color...

    I would breed this rooster all day long. That Copper is phenomenal, perfect, beautiful. You have too bred 1, 000 chics to change a lot, that is why we all will have faults! I will bred what I like and hope they get better. TOM
