Even though I'm still waiting to hear from my parents about when they're going to buy the house on 2 acres, I'm planning ahead with rooster plans.
I've found a few breeders with breeder stock for the breeds I'm mostly going to choose from. A few have some ranging from 1 year to 2 years of age so I'll have great options for human-friendly roosters.
Once I choose a breed, I'll be getting more hens of that breed so that I'll be able to separate and breed them in a pen. OR separate the hens to collect their eggs only for hatching.
I have made a list of the breeds that I'll be choosing from:
-Polish
-Orpington
-Belgian d'Uccle
-Cochin
Please do not suggest a breed because I'm going with what we've had the most luck with.
Which breed should I go with??
