Yes, I dont usually get into naming birds for the most part but he is such an awesome bird. Very tame and full of personality in spite of being near 12 lbs. El Cid was a historical figure from Spain who helped fight back the Moors from Spain. It is also a very good movie starring Charleton Heston as El Cid.Thanks for the info.
Thank you for the welcome.
I agree they are majestic looking birds. Your "old man" is beautiful! It's El Cid a Spanish name/word?
We have hatched many fantastic birds out of him the past few years. Unfortunately he lost a little bit of comb last year with all of the extreme cold temperatures we had last winter. By type he is not the best Minorca male you will see but he produces some of the best typed pullets I have ever seen.
