Looking for 7 mo buff orpington or similar hen

[Birdielee]

He's supposedly not aggressive at all

the “fuzzy” spot is just from the roosters feet or claws breaking the feathers there when he breeds,In my opinion that is just normal all of my hens get it from time to time, it just means he is breeding a lot and being a good rooster if you are wanting to hatch your own chicks.

That rooster is very pretty by the way

MROO, thank you!
"put them in a coop that shares a wall with your existing hen."

I've seen all sorts of setups on here, but i just envisioned how I could do this in my little coop

Yeah, i agree. He's got a slight limp from an old leg injury.... does that sound worrisome right off the bat, like I don't want his genes, or does it just sound roosterstyle?

The hens are fine as long as they don’t have cuts on them.

 

[212lnenne]

has he always had a limp? If not he is fine to breed with.

I just lost my poor Andalusian roo yesterday and am trying to hatch some chicks out of him and he did the same thing to my hens.

Can it be divided, even temporarily? If the coop is big enough, you could divide it now and add a little run off to the side for later. All it would take is a little ingenuity ... and a little door out to the new run. Once the chicklets are big enough to hold their own against their new "Aunty," just enlarge the doorway to accommodate grown chickens. Voila! A larger run for everybody!

Also do you know what breed he is?
