Bruiser really is a bruiser. He is bigger than the others and just strikes me as really dominant, bulky, and tough. He’s always sweet to Slate and Violet, his two hens, but the dominance situation is weird because he’s the most dominant cock (by far) but his hens are way at the bottom in the hen pecking order. Bruiser and his hens were all keets I bought last year for their unusual color and integrated as juveniles, along with keets we hatched. His group still seems so separate from the original group, with original cock Ghost and his six hens. Ghost is usually the last guinea in the coop at night, to prevent aggression from the other cocks. The other two males and their partners are able to move between Bruiser and Ghost’s groups, but Ghost and Bruiser’s subflocks rarely mix. Pic of pied pearl Bruiser, looking like a bodybuilder, and of lanky lavender Ghost. Please don’t kill anyone, Bruiser!

It’s so interesting how they have their own groups within the flock as a whole. Your boys are very pretty! I Like Bruisers white pattern. Pieds always look so unique.
