My mind is made up! I don't want those birds, I need them!

LOL Well thank you tossing>~ Joy a papertowel.. lol I had 2 very large black roos in the coop that ruled.. They sired pretty much everything.... Well I saw a changing of the guard after the Morgan left ...Then Levi was able to contribute to the gene pool. I started getting more blues and eventually 7 or 9 splash. I would have to actually go out there and count them to be sure.. but they are hiding EVERYWHERE. lol

I have a rooster run... there are several promising black roos in there.... large... wide... fluffy .... yep nice boys... I don't need them Sooo anyone interested is welcome to PM me. I am culling out all of my non English hens. Sold 5 of them last night to a friend for table eggs got 3 more to go. I will be culling through my babies later this yr. OH will post roos in the run later today.

OH those chocos rule!... just lovely

Renie, lovely babies! I've got Black envy now, I won't be able to breed any Blacks this first year using Neville with my girls and it's bugging me. I'll get some really nice Blues though hopefully out of my group and then get some Blacks in the next generation.

Your birds look healthy and like they're very well taken care of. You should be proud.

Joy, me too... I'm gonna have to clean the keyboard at work before I leave for vacation today!
