The boys are getting at the age when the hormones kick in and they go through that terror phase.
4 will get free passes to Sunday dinner and 1 will get to romance the girls. (Until I can get my hands on a SQ black wyandotte rooster)
I like the way Lester has developed the most even though he still has faults. I am kinda waiting to see how they turn out after the hormones wake up as I don't want a bad tempered rooster that charges and attacks humans no matter how good he looks.
2 of the girls will be going to a new home to help my friend rebuild after she lost her flock to dogs. Right now they are hanging out with their flockmates until their new home is more fortifide.
Sooo, that will leave me with 7 pullets soon to lay with 5 rowdy boys until I can make the big decision on who gets to stay with the girls.
My breeding focus is the blue/black/splash; just want to add other colored hens for fun and enjoyment. The rooster/s that would be kept for breeding for now will be the blue/black/splash. Been wanting to add some breed quality Wyandottes but after pricing 5 each of the colors I want (which is all of them) my check book squealed like a stuck piglet; so, I am trying to decide which other 2 colors to pick out along with the blue/black that I want. Leaning between LF Partridge, Buff, SL, GW, and Columbian. I am worried that the Columbians might get picked on by the local hawks when free ranging due to their coloring. My dad likes the look of the Colombians. For those that have the Columbians how do they do when free ranging?
