    That is cool. I did not know he had new stock. I am only a few miles away and raise a different line than he does - blocky and broader back and shoulders. Of course I am working on a number of things!

    Everybody is talking about color, but what about type? People are complaining about the roosters tail set right now.

    I have a rooster that is black on the breast , I have only 3 marans hens - all solid black, that being said - half of his pullets showed copper. I havent had a cockerel by him that I would consider keeping though.
