They have been interesting, I hatched them out November 1rst of last year and they started laying within the last 2 months. The SFH roo stays with the three hens all the time and is not aggressive to me or the hens. He is a fan of courting the girls but does not seem to be overdoing it. If I pick up on of the hens and they make a distress call, hen comes running but by then I have put the hen where I need her to be at. So all in all I think he is a good rooster and the hens are doing everything they are supposed to, eating forageing, laying eggs, etc..

Good to hear you’ve got a good roo! We’ve had two aggressive ones a (buff Orpington which was suprising) and a silver sea bright. The sea bright would fly on my back and peck my head. My husband gave him a dose of 410.

410 always seems to take care of the aggressive roos....

I have some barnyard mixes available. Nothing purebred. Just the chickens that have been on the property crossbreeding for the last seven years with a new infusion of genetics every few years. Very hardy, colorful. Have some lavender, red pyle, dominant white and red colors.

Years ago they had egg swaps of all sorts on here. But some folks don't play nice.

I would also have some barnyard mixes I would be willing to trade. I have a black bantam cochin roo who has some nice blue splash to his feathers, and my pullets that are laying are GLW, Gold Laced and bearded Polish bantam, and Spangled Hamburgs. Haven't hatched any eggs yet, but I would imagine these ladies would make for some pretty birds with the Cochin roo. I am very new to chickens, and not all of my pullets are laying yet, so maybe I would wait until spring? Just a thought

I have Pekin ducks laying and would be willing to swap for call duck, quail, OEGB or white-egg laying breeds.

I have Swedish Flower Hens that are young and with a roo of the same age and breed. I am also in NC...But I have no desire for seramas, do you have anything else? respectfully....

I would be willing to trade Olive and Easter Eggers
