Thank you everyone for the compliments. He's quite a beauty and will be a year old this spring. I hatched him from eggs I bought from BLISSCHICK here on this forum. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for eggs on this forum and others.
At the moment I have my entire flock mixed together, so he is in with Orpingtons, Standard Cochins, Gold Laced Wyandotte,Brahmas and a couple other breeds like EE's and Chanteclers along with My big Blue Orpington Roo and a Giant Black cochin roo. I have about 30ish hens so the guys aren't squabbling yet...lol.
My BLRW is dominant in the flock.
I am toying with splitting my run in the spring once the snow is gone. I have two coops that open to one run, but I have the extra fencing on hand if I choose to do it . I just don't know that I want to breed specifically for one color or breed.
I also know that if I separate him off I will be putting him in with a couple of my orpingtons as I fell in love with Gold laced Orps and want to toy on that end. I have a Gold laced Wyandotte hen that I would put with my big blue Orpington boy to try to play with but I am undecided if I want to go that route at this time.
I have some eggs in the bator now from my flock to see what I get. At this point I am content to enjoy my flock for myself. I have bred in the past....long ago and I don't know that I have enough time or inclination to go there again...lol.
