Thank you. He's sooooo quiet too. Barely hear it when he does crow. Little on the shy side, but will settle in for handling. He's 1 of the boys I can't keep. This is my little stinker Freddie, who I decided not to keep too. That is breaking my heart, but I think he needs his own flock. I know zilch about showing, but I'm wondering if he might be good for someone. They all could be house roos with outside access.

aww. i have the same problem with my roos. i have 5. except i am getting more hens to balance it out.

That's awesome. I figure I'd have a total of 7 roos...assuming Mo is a cockerel. 3 hens isn't enough for my older roo...he needs more. I was aiming for him to have at least 10 with getting the 14 2 month olds....I took a gamble for getting that many at once for any I would lose & maybe a boy or two, but got 6 boys!

How many hens are you planning per roo? I'm thinking generally 3-5 per roo.

Plus, Freddie likes to pick on Penguin my black cochin roo. Ducky seems to be picking on Mo a bit too...not sure if it's the cockerel I'm higher on the chain than you or what. Figure if I'm seeing this behavior now that it might get worse later..even with more hens.

i am getting quite a few. not sure yet.

Have to let me know how it works out. Do you know what you're going to get? More Polish?

Copper & Freddie are both Old English Bantams. Copper is a gold laced & Freddie is a brassy back. Let's that's what I was told for Freddie. I had someone say they thought Copper was mixed with sebright, but they're from my feed store who gets their chicks from Ideal. So, in theory they shouldn't be mixed. Quality wise for markings, etc. I'm clueless.
