I believe you don't mate them if they are full brother sister ie, mother&father were hatched together then they mated producing these 2. I'm no expert by any means but thats what I've read because I am faced with same delima I now need a new roo because of thinning of older birds and so many...
Thank you and I do notice that patch and her name is pony boy because when she first started getting her Feathers I was always telling her to stay golden and I'm a huge outsiders fan
thanks, I just got them as chicks from a local farmer who had an extremely successful hatch and asked if I could take a few on I asked him and thars what I was told and yes the grey 1 has a beard
