    I have decided that every year I will raise chickens for my county fairs charity poultry auction. This year I am doing buff orpingtons and possibly my BSL rooster we will see if he gets his act together. I want to select the best breeds that are not an outrageous price but are high in demand.

    How soon do you notice roo behavior?

    Last week, I got 5 new baby chicks (Amberlink, ISA Brown, Maran, Easter Eggger, and Jersey Giant). The Jersey Giant was a straight run so I took the chance.

    1 year old Black Birchen Maran / Red Cross Rooster - ALABAMA

    1 year & 2 months old, this guy was an 'oops' egg that was placed mistakenly under a broody silked easter egger hen. The silkie hen raised him as her own and he's a great guy. Even being a cross, I think he's very handsome. He's gentle with his hens and has done well with just 2 hens as well as...
