I truly think he is stunning! :D It will be neat to see their offspring. I hope they won't have too much trouble since the cockerel is only 12 weeks...Plus I think the big guy will only be worried about the 6 hens whereas the cockerel thinks he is king over all his little pullets lol
The cockerel is 12 weeks old along with 14 pullets the same age. And I have 6 hens. So when everyone is grown there will be 20 hens to split between the two of them. I hope that is enough!
I went and looked at a 2 yr old EE roo tonight. I think I am going to adopt him. Then when my EE grows up I will have two pairs of eyes, and that would make me feel much better. So glad your boys did their job!
Gah I am in OH and pretty sure hubby would kill me if I drove that far for a roo. But ugh these hawks visit every single day! My 6 hens just go hide in the lilac bush but the little ones don't know any better yet and they don't follow the big gals.
I am sooo stinking tired of the hawks visiting us every single day. I have already lost one chick when she waa 7 weeks. Today I went out to check on everyone, and sure enough 2 hawks right over the area where my now 12 week chicks were...and the cockerel...not making a peep :( Come on King...
