You'll have to see how they turn out. Can't tell whose curly until wing feathers come in. And you'll want an unrelated roo too. Lol. Lots to think about. Gives you a reason to get a few babies from someone else too!
Oh I'll keep them all till they r close breeding age. And u r NOT helping my boyfriend out at all!!! Lol I was just sitting here wondering if I'd really be able to wait til they r old enough to breed and lay, or if I should get a few older ones also!
They take usually 6 months+ to lay. It takes a while. And some roosters take a while to learn how to do "the deed". Depending on how feathered the feet and around the eyes are. They aren't the most coordinated.
You won't regret it when you're hatching your own babies.
Do it! If its a good breeder with good looking breeders they'll probably (hopefully) have a lot to choose from. Older birds don't sell as fast, so they may have some 4-12 week olds too.
The last couple years has been really fun.
You're telling me. I set out to get 5-10...now I have about 70...with eggs in the incubator, and MORE eggs hatching at a BYC friends. Lol. Its addictive. Thank goodness my husband just lets lets me do my thing and doesn't complain...too much.
