Yes, he is doing better. I agree about the wing triangle.

He is unrelated to any of the others I have. I am setting some eggs from my original grouping tomorrow. I have given him a hen that I will set eggs from once the incubator is available again. Then we can compare. The hen I picked for him has a much lower tail set, very high, tight wing set and a longer back. If we like what he produces with her, then perhaps he will get more girls so we can then do crosses with the offspring. I have some Rees girls growing out that I can put in with my main roo (not Rees line) in a couple of months, too. Hoping to then keep the best of the best to go forward with the "purebred line" and the others can either go into the laying pen or the olive egger pen.

Did you see the great egg I posted this evening from our CL girls? We are getting those regularly now.

which thread? I was just reading them...

sounds like a good plan, I hope to see more of your baby pics =)
also, info / pictures on the auto-sexing of your Rees x not Rees offspring. There has been some discussion about Rees markings...

Hi Everyone!

Thanks to all who helped me liquidate my flock!
Still have some pending birds, a nice trio of Serama, a GORGEOUS Hedemora Roo hatched from Greenfire Farms hatching egg,
Blue Splash Americana Roo that came
from Dana at Indigo, 2 black hens that I'm told are Australorps, that I can't remember where I got them,
That's about all folks. Sue, you did a great job for me, lottsa folks mentioning your name.

Thanks Again all for getting my flock new homes! I need to contact the person who wanted to see pics of the Serama, been
cursed with a camera that is not letting me select and transfer pics.

So..after she has 1st grab, I will post here again.
My OLDEST chicken "Mighty" who you folks all know, will be remaining here in retirement with 3 of his lovely hens.

I also have some chainlink panel coops that may be available soon.
one is 12'X6' 12 panels with one door panel, another coop is 6' X 6' 8 panel (one with 2 extra panels on top, maybe 3 have to check).
one Amish coop (6' X 6'), one Cedar Shed Playhouse converted to coop with extra welding wire encasing porch.
Check out the Cedar Shack web site to see it. (the one that listes for $1200 and change!) I will be taking best offers on coops with
BYC members get first shot before they all go on CL's

Cedar shack disassembles to 2 roof sections, 4 walls, 1 floor, plus a 24" extension I built all the way around so I could walk into it.
Amish Coop holds4-6 birds with 3 or 4 next boxes. 4 walls one roof one floor and on nice wheels.

So nice!
Do you ever notice the shell sheen? They usually seem chalky, but I have had some that are waxy and one that is shiny. Along with all the other factors, I'm selecting for that too...

Some of ours have a slight sheen, others are chalky.

When I get the chicks hatched I will start taking pix & let you know what I see color-wise. Since I have chosen to cross the Rees roo onto non-Rees hens & eventually vice versa (when the Rees pullets are old enough), I am hoping to maximize the overall quality with the best of both worlds. We shall see!

Thanks for giving me a headstart on that look =)
I haven't been able to add another line...

Well, let me know when you are ready......I'm up to trading for some Ameraucana pullets/hens and/or Black Copper Marans pullets/hens that have super dark eggs.

Can you post pics of your coops?

I believe I can post some pics later today or maybe tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience.
Past coffee customers head of the line!
