thanks for all of your replies!
i do see what some of u are saying about slightly aggressive rir roosters...hmm.. wow, i wish one of my buffs would go broody for once... in the years i have had chickens the only one i had go broody was a golden polish hen, once,,, and had one baby.. lol...
oh, i forgot to say,, all my jersey giant babies are really skittish... all the others i have ever raised the exact same way , were sooo much sweeter, and actually wanted to be around me... the jersey giants only care about if i brought them a treat or not.... i was excited, because i thought...
wow! yall are very helpful! thank you!! im just not sure if i should keep the little buff orpington roo or the rir roo.... same age, etc but the orpington roo is just not as sweet, kinda skittish... so i need to pick... humm.... what to do what to do!! yall are very helpful and sweet. oh,, lol...
incase ur wondering. my animals are free range on nine acres. i do not have a pen big enough to hold all of them comfortably. they are locked up at night. i just dont like to keep them penned up,,, they are much happier free ranging.
thanks
hey guys.. i was wanting to narrow down my chickens to two different breeds. origionaly buff orpington and jersey giants... however, just last night one of my buff orpington hens was hit by a car and killed.. i cried and cried... this left me with one other hen and a very young buff orpington...
