He’s super soft and fluffy! Definitely different than my sleak pharaoh hens!Pretty rooster, hopefully he settles in quickly.![]()
The girl I got him and the eggs from says she keeps a mix of pharaoh, browns, Italians, goldens, tuxedos, whites and she just got a pastel.He looks like a golden, possibly Golden Manchurian. So you should get an interesting mix from him with your pharoah hens. Probably will end up with some Italians too.
That's a cool mix, if he's a second or third generation with them all intermixing you should end up with really fun colors since you don't know what recessive or incomplete dominant colors might be hidden in his background.The girl I got him and the eggs from says she keeps a mix of pharaoh, browns, Italians, goldens, tuxedos, whites and she just got a pastel.
Yes I’m super excited to see who hatches!That's a cool mix, if he's a second or third generation with them all intermixing you should end up with really fun colors since you don't know what recessive or incomplete dominant colors might be hidden in his background.
If you haven't already, try rearranging the stuff in the enclosure; add a dustbath, more stuff for them to play with, treats, etc. Sometimes that will work to distract from the new bird. Hopefully she starts being nice. If she continues you could try taking her out for a few days then add her back so she is the "new" bird.Yes I’m super excited to see who hatches!
One of my hens is bullying the new roo. Poor guy keeps having to find hiding spots. The other hens are happy with him tho.
Funny thing is, it’s the same hen the last roo really beat up. She was so submissive to everyone a week ago, now she’s acting like top dog.
Do hens have any kind of memory? Maybe shes just laying down the law because of what happened before...I dunno. Poor little roo.Funny thing is, it’s the same hen the last roo beat up.
