Well I can't wait to hear what you got from Ideal. I was looking into their birds right around the time you ordered bit I didn't see blacks listed in the assortment and was really wanting another black roo.
So I hope you'll keep us up to date and share info about their temperaments and quality and colors of course. Maybe I might have to order some. Too bad you have to get 25 DH2B might kill be if I get that many "worthless chickens" lol
Well it's too bad you aren't closer because of give you this black one!
I can't do individual pictures until tomorrow after I've sent some of the others to their new home. These guys are quite skittish and I'm not used to that but normally I use heating pad caves but right now I'm having to use lights and I wonder if that's part of it. I have read some bits and pieces about lights causing behavioral changes. My bulbs are red reptile bulbs. Right now it is also a bit crowded and obviously that doesn't help.

Wish you lived close, because I'm the proud owner of 7 black Barnes and Reid line roos. About 4-5 would be welcome to find new (but good) homes.
Creles? The silver headed guy standing up (second from the right) in the first pic is a male. I'd say the two behind him are females.

I'm not sure about creles, I was told they were Black Breasted (Red?) Old English, but it's possible. Thank you!Creles? The silver headed guy standing up (second from the right) in the first pic is a male. I'd say the two behind him are females.
Thanks! And those are the two that have been "boxing" around the brooder. I'll continue to watch them develop. Good thing I have a few roo homes lined up already...I would agree. I see 2 that look like roos, and several pullets. Eye stripes in duckwings are a good indicator of sex, along with size. Roos will also have thicker, more sturdy looking legs and feet.

Quote: I have Creles and yours looked similar to mine when they were that age...lol. Boxing...sounds like males....lol.
Both sexes are SO incredibly personable...it's good you have homes lined up. I didn't advertise mine right away and I ended up keeping them all....Just love 'em to death. Such sweeties!![]()
If they swear to be very quiet and not tell anyone they are roosters they could probably stay! But city ordinances and permits tell me no... Hopefully I don't fall too much more in love with the lil fellas, otherwise... I might have to invest in those silly no-crow collars.X2![]()
