Gotta do what you gotta do. What did you do order 25 males from McMurray?
It'll be more work but honestly in the long run I think you'll be better off. I had Reds from them and I wasn't impressed. I had a serious failure to thrive issue. And the ones that did survive seemed undersized I never even laid that great.
I crossed a few in with my Buffs. I don't have any Reds right now but I still have a couple Buffs with their genes.
Gotta get my buff numbers up soon so after I do I might go back to working on Reds again.

Mine had major FtT too. 2 didn't last 3 days, the 3rd was always way smaller than even the silver leghorn

Is he marching or dancing?

Is he marching or dancing?

Strutting most likely. Trying to impress his new ladies.

Moony, do any of your blue silver duckwing hens have like dusky wings? I can't tell if they're actually colored that way or if my birds are just getting too much sun
