Bigger cockrell, calmer and friendlier.

this cockerel look OK .
you still need a cockerel from different line to work with . you can not work with this one over his sisters .

This one turned out to be a pullet, small and slowest to feather

if she is small than we have to give her time to mature and see how big she can get .

There's a guy not too far from here with nice wheaten, he wouldn't sell me any because he was still working on improving the flock. I could also try and get a cock from him if you think i need one.

For such a big bird his legs are so close together. Maybe it’s just the way he is standing in that one picture??
