Oh that black-tailed white rooster is a lovely boy!

I am so happy to hear so many good reviews about the Black Australorp, as we are expecting our first ones about the middle of February.

Thanks, @Bird-Whisperer . I am a busy Grandma, but I'll try to spend as much time with them as I can while they are littles. ;) This is me pretty much all day :weeuntil this happens :th

I think my first rooster was a BJG and he was awesome. He came with our first batch of laying hens and I had no idea what any of them were. We named him Elvis and he crowed pretty much around the clock, does yours do this? I really liked him. Edit: sorry, I see you don't actually have one. My bad.

Easter Eggers, hands down. They are bold and curious, friendly and calm, and I don't have health issues with them. Hybrid vigor, I suppose. They get along well with each other, no squabbling (like my bossy BOs!). They don't go broody. They're good foragers but don't complain about being confined...
