Personally, my OEGB cockerels have been nothing but fantastic. They are highly intelligent and respond well to my methods of raising them.As I went outside just now, Eclipse decided to join Sparrow in the Pecks Shoes club. Mico is officially my favorite in this group.
Is it just me, or does anyone else have bad luck with OEGB roosters? All of mine so far (I've had six) have either been aggressive or went through an aggressive phase. I really hope that one or both of them get through it, or I'll have to get another OEGB for the project. :/
My first OEGB roo attacked anyone he saw on sight; but I had him before I really knew how to handle roosters, so that might have been part of it. My second one was great with me, but reportedly attacked a visitor. My third one pecked my hand when he was about 10-12 weeks old, and was quickly put in his place and quit doing it. Unfortunately, he died a little while later, so I don't know how he would've ended up. My fourth one, Ares, went through a short phase where he would peck my fingers, but only if they were right in his face. He stopped after that and never was aggressive again.
Yes. I would also like a cushion comb and superior resistance to parasites. I need to get updated pictures—I have shuffled the pens around a bit.
