Guys. It's finally happened. I'm still a little bit in disbelief. Yesterday, we got our gorgeous Australorp rooster (hatched 2022) from Dan Castle at Castle Poultry in CT.
I'll have better pictures once he starts to settle in, but he is a big boy! He's also in a moult so he's just got one sweet, sad little tail feather left, but I'm sure he'll be back to looking truly glorious again before long.
Here's a pic of Dan's incredible setup and flock of Australorps and bantam Brahmas.
And the bling:
He was kind enough to spend some time explaining all kind of things breeding and competition, answering all sorts of questions incredibly patiently with a rank beginner like myself. I showed him my birds and he agreed that I had picked the right one to work with from what I have.
My Sydney:
He made a couple recommendations and sent us on our way, happy to help with any breeding guidance along the way. Yay!
Thanks again so much, Dan! I'm really looking forward to working with #2432! Meet Othello.
