NOT FAIR!!

LOL

I'm doing the happy dance when I get 50:50! Out of my last batch of Marans I got 50:50 and of the 5 EE's I hatched ZERO pullets. What gives?!?

Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you

I am suspecting that their study is tainted somehow. I would hate to think that my roo is only good for about a year. It takes way too long to raise and cull for a good roo to find out he only has a one year expiration date

Anyone else out there with a roo over two years old who is still doing a good job ? ? ?

I too have a 2 year old very fertile male.............

Very cute AND boy oh boy is that little one going to have some leg feathering when it grows up!

The feathering on the middle toe is a DQ

Yes very apt comparison.

But your little cockerel is very very cute!

I am so stumped on this chick my friend. Normally I would fire off the gender but I just can't with this chick for some reason. By the last photo alone I would be tempted to say cockerel but the other photos leave me wanting to say pullet because by six weeks I would think that the comb would be much bigger like PrincessChickens'.

I have several roosters that are 2 years old or older and they are all still fertile.

DQ? Disqualification?

This one is the only one with the feathering on the middle toe.
