Awww, I would keep him...and get him some girls his own size....maybe silkies!??? THAT would be interesting. Bantams...Bantams....Bantams!!

Our silkie roo had no trouble mating with the EE girls and even the BO girls. I did catch him using the ramp as mounting block once for the bigger orp girl

They were fertile, and had good initial development when I left some in the bator for a week. Never hatched any though...

just don't put him in with Suede! you know what happened with Hawk, and he was a big boy.

Do you really think I would put any rooster in with Suede?! Not on your life. Gee, now that I think about it, Shadow is about the size of Suede's head!

By request from thndrdncr, here are some pics of Shadow, taken a little while ago. And just to update everyone on Panda, Zane's daughter with my Blue Ameraucana, Charlotte, there's a pic of her below.

Hi Cyn, how are you? You already know what you want to do. You really need to keep the little guy, give hime a few banty girls of his own and give him a little space of his own. He will be one happy little man and that will give you an excuse to buy more chickens! ( C'mon, like we all NEED an excuse!!!) Trudy

Hi, Trudy! It's not necessarily what I want to do but what becomes necessary. I could give him his own ladies from the ones I currently have, but I just cant see myself with a bunch of bantams. Plus, the fact that I'm considering selling more of the ones out of the 13 week old group. I even considered selling Suede and his ladies at one time when things got too hard around here. When DH's back is out, it's lots more work for just me. Dont listen to me! I go back and forth on this all the time. As long as I keep Shadow, I just need to decide what's best to do with him. If someone is interested in having him, I would still consider letting him go to a good home.
