Blanchard is usually like that. Newcastle will only have a few non poultry items - and usually, any stuff that they sell is poultry related. Maybe only 10% is stuff (and usually much less) - compared to the 60 - 70% stuff in Blanchard.

Sorry, I don't know of any roosters that will lay in the winter.
Haha....I meant which roosters are more aggressive, etc. I grew up in a neck of the woods in NE Texas called "Pinhook"....that pretty much describes how far out in the boondocks we were. We had all kinds of animals. Glad you got a good laugh though.
I got 3 Ameraucana hens and an Ameraucana rooster today. If my rooster lays an egg, I'll be rich.
I just couldn't resist.
I've had aggressive, as well as some super friendly roosters in any breed I ever had. A lot of times it passed down from the daddy, but sometimes it's from the way they are raised as well. As soon as I see aggression in one that I'd like to keep, I try teaching him not to challenge people. It he doesn't learn, I either get rid of him, or invite him to a chicken dinner.

I agree, except in some of my latest roos who I absolutely knew who the mother was it seems they inherited their bio-moms personality more then the dad's. And it didn't seem to matter the personality of the broody mom either.
oooohhhh, let me know on the GLW and silkies. Then I'd need a NN rooster, but I'm sure i can find someone that doesn't bring in other birdss that's NPIP that has one I can breed t. Just sounds like too much fun. I lost my first chick ever, last night, Well, I mean those that have hatched alive. Unless I count the 3 month old pullet. ok 2 One of the SS was sick when I picked her up. Glenn said she was premature, and he showed me how different her wings etc. were. I tried to save her anyway. Just didn't do a good enough job. I should of been feeding her every hour, and not been on this computor so long last night. I had a hen hatch 5 out of 6, I haven't cracked open the other egg yet to see what was going on there.
No , don't save me any eggs, You need more orps. Put them in your bator. HEEHEE(as Muesky would say) I only wnat a few of Sonny's mixes and try to get a few pullets.

Not sure what your looking for as far as sop standards or what not, but I will have some extra NN roos. Not sure yet how many, what colors the chicks are only 1 week and the others still cooking, and if your wanting to make show girls I might even have a spare one that already has Fm gene (dark skin). What ever color is visible in mine will be a mix genetically and I am not npip, but my flock is healthy, I cull for ill health and failure to thrive.

Robin, for your prolapsed roo...
I imagine roosters can have a rectal blowout just like a hen could. We all have the potential to get hemorrhoids, after all. The difference would be that hens tend to get an oviductal prolapse, and with roosters they don't have that particular organ, so it would be a different mass of internal tissue.
The only thing I could suggest would be a good warm epsom salt bath, and a smear of honey inside the affected area to reduce swelling and potential infection.

Good advice for the prolapse.
Hotcurlr I have some nn here not that I bred but I got as chicks and have raised. They are about 6 weeks old now but I an having the darndest time sexing them. My 8 yo gets to pick out a pullet to keep the rest will be sold. If you don't get one from kass I'm sure I will be able to sex them by the time these others are ready.
