I don't think the color is bad, but the horns are something you won't want to breed. They look pretty big in the first picture. Almost like Toulouse's horns
It's probably a little lighter than preferred but not a DQ as bright red would be. I have mulberries in my yard and they have shades of dark red to black.
Thanks guys.Horns are very common and yes something to breed away from but I wouldn't remove a great bird from my breeding program because of them.
Well, either way, I'm interested to see what kind of chicks I'll get from this guy.
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
