I know of people who rent out their extra roos to good friends. I would not do this. Sounds stressful and an invitation for illness.Oh my goodness is he handsome
I am really actually hoping I have one of the newer girls go broody next spring. I have plenty of roos right now but need some matches for some of my girls,, someone needs to open a stud service.
Okay...that's what I meant by the "flat back" when I originally posted...that the tail doesn't curve up so high and NO FEATHER PAD above the tail (like you see in my avatar photo girl).She didn't win the show. I would be bragging all over if she didNo she won best in breed. So out of the Plymouth rocks in all varieties she placed first.
Here is an illustration of the standard BR.
It's really hard to get her to stay still enough to take a profile shot. When walking their tail is held more erect then when they stand still.
It's a time of the year thing if you ask me Sue.
Asolutely it does, but artificial would work fine. I would never rent mine out.
Yes it is. Her comb is also folded by the looks of it, which is either a fault or a disqualification in the standards. I can't recall. My production hen has a fold as well.
My grandmother and great aunt used to share a rooster between their two flocks. They never had any problems that I know of but those were simpler times.
