Rooster You have very well kept fowl , cant wait to get mine,, I may post some Morgan Whitehaclkes when the birds get some feathers ,also have some North Briton Whitehackle .
 
Will do but I forwarn you I he is game but also a man fighting, hating everything, brutal nasty sob lol. Great with hens though. So far his offspring been ok. I got a few white kelso stags off him (bred to white kelso hens) and the owners couldn't be happier



If something happens to.him there's more around just not from the.same yard
Have you tried giving him treats and petting him? lol
 
I lose a few to predators but having the young ones free ranging is far better for em if you can do it. Trap and shoot the predators. I don't care what anybody says. If you stay on top of it your losses will be minimal.
Actually I meant it's better for me. I have had less problems free ranging most of the young birds than keeping them all penned. Pecking, killing each other, cleaning pens etc.. I still have penned a few from hatch for the ones I absolutely wanted to keep.
Yep, I really enjoy seeing them out on the yard. I hate to lose any but it hasn't been too bad. The birds are pretty cooperative as I learn which pens can be let out together and which cannot. I just switch it up so everyone gets a turn outside. It can be a challenge for those with far more birds.

I completely agree, and one day I will have the herd free ranging, that's pretty much my dream.
