So, What *Are* Your Goals With Your Rooster(s)?

[U_Stormcrow]

Fill my freezer with chicken every year. Keep me in ample supply of egg machines. Break up fights among the "ladies". Warn everybody of impending danger. The fact that he is willing to charge a larger predator is a two edged sword for me. And entertain me every day.

Is that Conan? I can't get the pic to blow up.

My goals are predator protection and breeding also egg production.

Yes, it is the "what is best in life?" scene with Conan, the Mongol General, and his Lieutenants.

I like the Terry Pratchett version:

- "What is it that a man may call the greatest things in life?"
- "Hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper."

I want a large barred version of phoenix's. Most long tail breads I've seen, the rooster only gets about 5lb, hen's about 3lb. Liege get around 12lb and 10lb. So I've crossed a Liege fighter with a Bielefelder to get barring. Next I'll try breading that one back to the Liege to get as close as I can to a Liege build but with barring, black legs and whatever comb Liege have. My cross has spotted legs and a comb between straight and the Liege comb. Hopefully I can bread that out. Then cross them to phoenix's to get the longer tail and hopefully create a more useful dual purpose version of phoenix.
