Great advice from both of you. Thanks. This isn't the only breed here so even two roosters is a pain but two is necessary for those predator days.
I do not travel much with my kids esp one of them being so little and then a partner who really does NOT want to go in the barn or step in poop. I am tethered on a short line
You could come up here though The next National show is up here in Mass so come on up and plan to bring me a bird or two
I wanted to hatch but then there were a few mishaps with crossing roosters-- or determined ones I guess. So I got worried. These are new to me. I did some reasearch for about a year and already have a few breeds here so this was my last addition. And now that they are so great I might be dropping a different breed. Its so hard to know what to do when I like them each for similar, cross over or different reasons. These aren't the friendliest of my birds for sure and that matters on a farm with kids that focuses on education. I need a bird I can show off and have people feel they can approach. They sure are great for everything else though. It might be this quandry that has me feeling overwhelmed. I have to focus down somehow and hate doing it even while I know its the best route in the long run for the breeds that stay and my ability to pay for them as well as work with them. Thanks again.
