He was an Aloha, but he attacked me so he was culled.

Still a very pretty bird. Hoping ours are nice. Time will tell. Bachelor pad coop is in progress and should be ready before hormones kick in.

I know, and it was a shame that he turned out that way. What breed do you have?

I have welsummer’s, black copper marans, and double silver laced barnevelder’s.

We have a lot of land we are trying to heal / reforest/ pasture/ farm/ and create orchards on so we figured raising some heritage breeds amongst all the other systems going on would be helpful for fertility and sustainability.

I have some silverudds blue’s coming in March with a few other surprise breeds.

Roger is doing great! And his son with the Wyandotte hen is huge! It's been down to about 17F overnite a couple of nites but everyone either has enclosed roosts, windblocks and a roof to sleep under along with feather coats. Only dustings of snow so far so I spread straw to keep feet out of mud/ice. It's mostly in 40-55F during day so they get sunny and warm before roosting. And heated dog water bowls are in each coop.

Did his son have a naked neck too?
