I didn't flame nobody, carry on

If anyone feels so inclined I've posted pics of a bunch of the roosters I had a few years ago. Might be able to find them.

You're welcome

Someone is bringing me a mystery bird today in exchange for my sebrights... as now that I've spent the time to raise them I'm not interested in breeding or keeping them. Of course. Don't have a clue what it is. It looks game but it's too big to be a bantam and appeared too small to be a standard. No idea what she is... but she goes broody all the time. Might find her a mutt companion and let her sit on other chickens eggs.

American games can be on the smaller side. My Albany are smaller than say a grey. Also the Spanish fowl are small

Thank you for the reply. The chicks were listed as "bantam crosses" with a picure of the roo and blurb about his mystery status. It wasn't an intentional breeding. Just two sneaky birds with their own ideas.
I've decided to just continue to enjoying him as is. If we incubate any eggs next year I'll keep a couple of hens for ourselves and make the rest fryers.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it.

you're welcome

Probably. Which is what I figured I would find. They told me three different bloodlines and hatch wasn't one, but they're all blue legged. Lol.

I wouldn't go on someone's looks like. She's a hen and we'll never ever know lol. Just take good care of her. Or put her over rice

agree.. dont say she is hatch just because I said she looks like one... I'd be curious to know which 3 bloodlines... Blue legs are not very common, especially in crosses from what I have experienced over the years.

They said they had 1 kelso, 2 of something I can't remember, and 3 roundheads. One had white legs, and 2 had yellow. The other three were the ones I got with blue legs. Which, surprisingly, I did try that old grey hen in with them and she's doing well with it. She was alone in a pen for a very long time before I got her and was the meanest thing in my backyard. Apparently the young leiper is finally in charge. He likes having new ladies so she accepts it. She does sleep on the opposite side of him as they do but there hasn't been any real fighting. I think the pullets are still young enough they accept they're at the bottom. The other hens I tried the grey with were other full grown hens. Poor rooster, he is scraggly as scraggly can be, molting and he's trying to dance and strut. Lmfao.
