Show off your roosters

Nice real nice I like the orps a lot. Did you do the breeding?

Yes the Creles are sixth generation, they have come a long way.

Didn't see these responses earlier, lol.

He might pair nicely with a Svart Hona or Spitzhuaben hen IMO. The only thing would be getting that stellar color in his offspring. 

People tell me he looks Svart Hona a lot! I agree there's quite a bit of superficial resemblance. I've considered them for adding to the breeding project later, though currently the Bantam Sumatra tops my list should outcrossing be required, as they share the pea comb I'd like to see continued.

Man some cool genetic variety there. Gorgeous birds

Yep! Out of the four chicks we aqcuired we had two that look like Norman and his sister - pure black - and two that were a Silver a Duckwing type coloration. Hard to believe such nice birds happened by accident in someone's backyard... and they're lucky they even survived, the previous owner was very negligent and it could be seen in the chicks when I acquired them at several weeks of age.

He needs his own thread! I want to intently follow his journeys, especially if your are going to be having some of his little minis running around soon. LOL

YES! Norman needs a thread!

By popular demand, I'll set about making one when I get the chance. I'll post a link here when it's up.

Well - it turns out I had some time today (was gonna clean up the basement, but my hip decided that wasn't happening) so I sat down, and wrote up Norman's entire life story - which took longer than expected! Complete with pictures, commentary, and my admittedly terrible sense of humor, I give you Norman's dedicated thread:

Norman the Rooster

Me and Norman both hope to see y'all over there!

Yes I do sell pullets and cockerels once they reach a certain age. I am keeping all the whites this year but selling about 70% of the creles. I am in QLD Australia though.

Here's my young roo from my egg hatching back in April from Kurts Australorp line. He was enjoying hanging out in and out from by the misters and the water left the yellowish spots on his feathers. It gets hot here, so have to keep them cool!

This is my rooster Jelly bean He's a 16 week old maran Im unsure of what colour
The people I bought him from said he was a blue maran But he looks like a black maran.
If you know what colour he is let me know please.

He's really friendly and loves my little sisters.

He Loves to pose for photos.

 

[Braxton Brigade]

I don't have Norman beat on the beatle green sheen but I am still a fan of this guy.

19-20 week old Black Ameraucana cockerel.
