It's too bad that there is not enough demand to justify a "Rent -A - Roo" service.

That would be nice! Get a real nice BCM roo, and he'd wrack up some frequent flyer miles in a hurry!

What about frozen semen?? Does that work in chickens?

I have an "up & comer" that I have real high hopes for. From the last bunch of 7 that I got from Pink, he is jet black and already has real nice copper in the hackles...5 points on the comb...great leg feathering with beautiful straight toes. I'll have to get some pics during our nice weather before it turns to Autumn next week & starts the winter rains again.

Fugs is no more, but I could make you a Pip-cicle??

That would be the only way to get anything out of him. He will not breed the ladies. He sure can romance his coffee can though!

What a HOOT!

He's pretty! I grew out a pullet from Bill colored like him about 2 years ago..she was tall and gorgeous! I like this variation of darker blue and lighter blue random feathers on the more blue-er appearing splashes....see the huge color differences in the Davis splash that Mel has and Bill boy you have? Crazy how that very very dark blue of Bill effects everything so differently.

Hmm, Geebs, you might want to bring a BIG purse to the Roo-B-Q at Mel's house, eh??

No but seriously! We FINALLY have some sunshine in the PNW! I think I'll actually be able to plant by the weekend!

i'm going to try to get some pics of those babies I got from you Pink. One of the Splash, def a roo, looks like he has promise. Similar to the one posted earlier but he's still pretty young. They're hanging out in the sunshine with everyone for the first time today though they're in their own area for now. So fun to watch them grow!
