Would love to have some feedback on my FBCMs. Would this rooster be of show quality? They are all this years hatch and at least one of the girls has started laying but the eggs are not very brown at all. They free range all day with access to a layers, scratch and a litle treat of calf manna feed.
The one thing I have learned I am not a chicken photographer. I know that a picture of him from the backside will help, gonna work on that.
In the above photo look at his comb, do you see that little bit pointing sideways at the back of his comb? That is what looks like a sprig to us.
14 cockerals will be brutal on only 7 pullets. If you won't eat them, you need to find them a home, you could try Craigslist or separate them from the girls somehow.
Great distinction in your language! And I love the color on this boy and his wide black chest. Both pics make him look pretty upright, of a shallow keel. What's his age?
Well said. I like rehoming those that can be to anyone who wants to make meat birds or their own backyard beauties but after that the dog or the freezer is where the sexually aggressive ones go, along with any that are not being kept to show/breed. I try to keep two here for those 'just in case.'
If i put the extra roos in a roo only run...will they fight each other or be ok until i find more hens to add to the flock....I can do that with a breakdown run we made when i raised quail...I just rechecked the date I got these babies there so so big but not 6 months old yet...only 4 months old...
