They are always short on a good crow when young. Give him time.

Are you able to have roosters where you live or are you limiting him to hens / pullets? I have some friends headed that way I believe and maight be able to send him something for spring shows if we can set that up.
Crossroads will be Oct 28, I will be able sex and send either Blue wheaton, or Black the pullets would work out well for spring shows, any cockrells would be best for next year as they would be too young but if I can send them with a friend of ours they would be free to him, to get him started right.
