BLRW roo, tell me what you think

[firedove]

yeah, you need to have multiple breeding pens if you want to develop multiple breeds or varieties. I'm starting with one breeding pen for my BLRWs and next step will be a grow out pen for them as well.

For better critique of your birds you might try posting to the forums at the Wyandotte Association's website.

Your rooster looks like a big guy. I have two lines of blr and I had roos that looked like yours. As far as color I like what your roo has going for him. Like you said he is a little long in the back. This is the thing I had trouble changing. That and the chest in mine didn't have that nice wyandotte look to it I kinda see that going on with the roo you have. But I wouldn't have any trouble breeding the one you have and see what happens. I will say that the hens I got out of mine were very nice with good type. Mike

Thanks Cedar! As I understand it, long back in the BLRWs is a pretty prevalent problem. Hopefully I can either select it out or get some better hens to try and breed it out.

Firedove, I figured I would post a picture of your bird's brother.
I currently have 7 chicks on the ground from him, hoping to have some really nice type.
