My black rooster!!!!

[phoebs]

I've got this black rooster he is a beuatiful boy
but i am woried that over my lighter coloured chooks all the chicks will turn out black instead
of colours like my hensi dont want to get rid of him because he is a cutie but
i dont want only black chicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well it depends on the color of the hen he breeds with some time the lighter color hens will have a stronger genes and the chicks will take the hens color ar at least a little darker since the rooster is black.

example: black rooster X Buff orpington = a rhode island red color

Of course you could always keep him, collect your eggs daily and eat them, and buy some eggs to hatch when you want more chooks.
