@roosterhavoc I’m curious if this will work with your peacock

The only issue I see with the blacks I have is the cape feathers are slightly thin and not as thick as most red roosters. I wouldn’t select for thicker hackles or anything but it’s a slight issue I have noticed over the past few years.

Could be worse things lol I'm 100% confident in him as a whole for straight brood stock I couldn't ask for more. Sent me exactly what I expected hes got a bunch of biddies running around.

Pretty good disposition If you handle them correctly. They are on edge ready to go toward action (Little story here when I took my white bird away from his daughter as soon as the black seen him he was hitting his pen and if y'all don't recall he was about 20ft away from him).
I could see some one not patient that could really get themselves in trouble and likely blame it on the rooster. I'm not saying they ain't a man fighter in these types here and there down the line, but a lot has to do with the fella behind em. I'm pleased never catch me worrying about the small things when most of the rest is figured out and above average for black fowl I just gotta keep it intact.

Man there’s so many turtles at the lake by my house I’m constantly trying to avoid them. They’re everywhere. I think they’re eastern box turtles. They don’t seem to mess with my flies though. I’ve caught a few snapping turtles though on tiny flies in other places. They got to keep them. I can make more if I keep my fingers.
