I have since found that OEGB/PR combinations don't mix. I now have 3 cockerels to cull. The one EE/OEGB cockerel I have from the same hatch is mild mannered and mellow.

I have game hens and the other day my hubby was gonna quote show me how to take one of mysweetheart hens off her nest for me lol and she went all bypolar on him. I laughed cayse they are use to me taking care of them and he was so sure he could out do it. Well she pecked his boot and flogged him and sqaucked at him and it was funny cause she was so ****** at him. The next day I went to go get her off her nest she clucked at me and went and ate of course I had to call hubby and rub it in but I love all 20 of my babies they are so sweet and each one has there own personality

Pullet bellow is wild-type except she carries a gene that makes for barring on her secondaries. It is same gene that makes for the dirty-hatch look. Such hen also run a little darker than wild-type. Her back to her father yields about 1 in 4 that are essentially all brown except for black tail.

Light colored pullet also carries same gene. Some of her half brothers are also brown-breasted brown red except coloration is much lighter. Bars can just barely be made out on lower left wing.

Darn coon just tried to come up into yard. Dogs got into it but bugger got down into half buried junk pile. I could tell it was a coon by the racket it made as barreled into safety. Scoob does a number on them when he catches them in the open. Odds are that coon will avoid coming this far up hill until persimmons get ripe then it will likely risk the trip again.

Work with her a little bit and you will be able tame her down even with chicks. Just don't rile her so much she damages eggs or chicks. Being tamed down want affect ability to deal with other threats.

I havent had them long enough for them to have chicks yet but we will see she is trying to set so I am gonna let her and see how she does. Then we will see if she will when I first got them they had chicks and I could then but it was a different hen that had the chicks then.
