Mine as a general rule are very good natured around chicks. The way my great-uncle kept the proven broodcocks and broodhens for producing more hens on fast track to breeder pens, the cocks routinely got involved with rearing chicks. It also occurred on walks where birds were single mated. Key was exposure of cock to only one hen and her brood. Bringing a second hen / pullet into situation makes so cock has to spread his efforts out more thus he delays investment until young are juveniles. With even more hens the cock does nothing other than warn and take on hawks.

Very interesting insight and logic makes perfect sense. Basically monogonmous cocks are more apt to rear chicks... much like humans and other monogonmous species of birds (apprently 90% of birds are considered monogamous *thanks Google*)

I assume that is either in Mexico or in another Latin American country. If so a lot of those birds were reared in the US making so a lot of the pre-keep investment is still made by those with less resurces,

If I were to guess that is what I would think a cross between a grey and a Kelso would create with the streamers in the tail. But with games there's so many different crosses and variations it's impossible to say difinitively

Oh okay that'll be fine any guesses are appreciated, thank you!

No science here, just speculation.

The chick number also appears important. More chicks means more investment.
