Mike Tyson ,solid chunky cockerel . super gentle with his laddies . he loves the buff pullet.
he has too much black on his hackle ,and a lot black leakage on his body . easy fix.
his bother Tyson 2 has a better hackle marking but a lot black leakage on his body .better type too .
will work with them both .

Cry Wolf has a better hackle marking than the 2 Tyson ,but they have a better body type and better tail .
collecting eggs from Cry Wolf and a Birchen hen . testing him to see if he is carrying the Columbian gene Co or the Dark Brown gene Db .
if his chicks are all black Birchen ,than he is Columbian based .
if his progeny are white or half of them ,than he is Db based .
I think he is Db based .less hackle marking .

the other 2 Tyson I m assuming are Columbian based .full hackle marking .

all 3 are going to be used .

@Chooks man - Good looking pups!

Thank you my friend .
they are good looking but they are giving me a lot problems .they are not doing they job properly .
the German Shepherd is a jumper . 4 feet fence is nothing for him .
the big Maremma Dog is a digger , he digs under the fence and go wonder around .not a good thing . lucky he is gentle .still not good ..

@Chooks man - I understand my two pups (Aussies), although great dogs and trained, do have minds of their own. They watch me working on something then they go behind me and undo it. C’est la vie!
