Maggie, your roo is beautiful. I had never seen a blue Aussie before, or is that just something with the sun making him look like he is blue?

Love him!

It's the sunshine. I just

him. His breed is famous for being gentle... Lucy rolls over on his back so I can rub his belly. It's adorable.

Thanks- he's pretty much what you're looking for. He's just hatchery stock, but sweet as a peach cobbler. (Also, I think 2-3 roos would be just fine. This roo in particular has no trouble getting around.

) You could order 3+ boys from mypetchicken if you wanted. Butcher any you don't want and keep the pretty ones. Even if you're looking for fertile hatching eggs, most people don't hatch pullet eggs because they're so small (which leaves plenty of time to raise some roos). Of course, buying them pre-raised would be easier...
