I am now officially on the hunt for a new black tailed buff rooster. After some checking around and some generous offline assistance with assessing my BTB pullets i've decided i need to bringing in a roo from a new line.
SO.. if anyone has a boy who would fit the bill i'm interested. My boys are about 4 months right now but anything between 4 months and a year is ideal.
If i can't find the right boy i'd be willing to take hatching eggs and just put my pullets in with the laying hens for a few months while i wait, but this is the less preferable option.
After nursing Harold back to health from his eye peck he is quite one of the friendliest roosters i have, and yesterday he came over to the wire to visit with me while all the other boys are too busy squabbling in the back... then out of the blue i got a note from a lady looking for a family friendly rooster for her mixed back yard flock... hopefully they like him and Harold will get a new home..
