those are heritage Good Shepard barred rocks. if your others are hatchery you may not want to breed them together. there is a work of difference in the birds. GSBR are breed for their meat so taste is a big deal with him. size would be another thing.....my roo is the size of a turkey. the barring is different on my birds too. I personally would not mix them with any other barred rocks......but they will be yours.


I hope you have a good hatch....2 doz eggs should get a good number of chicks.

Is that what I got too Donna?

did you get brown eggs with a br? then yes.

**** it! I was told that it was "definitely a pullet" when I got her.....er...I mean him.

Anyone need a PET rooster?????

strange thing about Easter eggers......if you know how you can sex them at hatch. there is a thread that shows you how. anytime you see red on the wings and not on the breast too....they are roos.

I think the these is call Easter Egger sexing tips and tricks or something like that.

I'll look it up. I'm upset because he's so sweet and I don't want him to become someone's dinner. I'm calling up my chicken friends to try and find him a new home before he starts crowing and my neighbors start to hate me.

It happens....I've had 3 "pullets" that started crowing. All 3 were from different sources and were of different breeds. I was able to find homes for all 3 though so that was good.

The noise doesn't bother me but I can't say the same for my neighbors and the thought of him becoming someone's dinner is pretty upsetting.
