Laced Blue Belle cockerels Eastern NC

[CoconutCoffee]

Bought chooks from Dragon Fly Farms in Hillsborough NC and these 2 turned out male. They are 13 weeks (hatched 8/11). I'm debating getting rid of one or both. Right now they're a little rowdy but have shown no aggression towards humans or their flock mates. Heres a link to DragonFly Farms page about them, to get an idea of what the roosters look like.

Oh they are awfully cute. Too bad I'm not closer

They are! I like having them around and going back and forth on getting rid of them. I have roosters already so that's a problem but they are getting older so these 2 would maybe be good to replace.

Personally if the male's all get along and no one is overbred, I'd keep them. They should have a blue gene, so they could theoretically create blue laying pullets if they breed to blue or green layers

They seem to get on fine with the rooster they're in with now but theyre still young. The rooster makes sure to remind them that he's in charge but he's not keeping them from eating or drinking. I may just hold onto them long enough to see how they are when they're older.
