I am currently raising 6 chicks that are dominated by the Bev Davis blood line. I would like to have a rooster from another blood line to prevent too much inbreeding. My chicks all have feathering on their legs and came from a very good looking rooster. I would be willing to trade as well.
 
You didn't say where you are? Unless you go back to the same person you got your chicks from, the likliness of getting full brothers and sisters from another breeder are almost nil. Some people say that crossing between two different lines will fade the egg color in the next generation, I can't say for sure, as I'm not there yet. Best to stay with the line you have, and do line breeding. Can I assume you are talking about Black Coppers and not Blue Coppers?
 
I have the black and coppers. The man that I purchased my chicks from is going to have chicks this fall from the same hens but different rooster. I think I will wait and see if my hens look better than the rooster or vise versa. Can a half brother and half sister have good chicks or are they too closely related?
