Oh I don't think it is spreading fear at all. When you have something this different, I'll take all the caution I can get.
The biggest breed within the flock mix is going to be Orpingtons. All the full breeds I have are older, the younger breeding/laying stock is all mixed.
Jersey Giant is the only breed readily available here in the states that is above average. I had a hen at one point, and looked for her yesterday, but couldn't find her. She may have been a snack, or maybe sitting on eggs somewhere.
Let me see what I can find. Maybe I'll beg the lady for a pullet.
Sounds like a good plan. For now your guy can wait, he's still pretty young. I'm doing brahmas for mine, hope it's enough because if not we'll have a problem
