Hi
We're new to the chicken-keeping business, but want to support the rare breeds. We are building a flock of assorted rare breeds in order to start breeding our own stock. We've read the 'breed standards' which all seems very daunting! We are not looking to show ourselves, but would like to produce good quality, robust and true-to-breed chickens.
We have 2 cream legbar roosters and it is time to decide which goes? I will post pictures shortly, and as you will see, one is darker than the other. It is proving to be a difficult choice, as the darker one seems to have a hatred for our Maran cockrel, but we think the paler one is perhaps too light in colour (although I quite like him as I think he is unusual)?
Personal views aside, what do you all think out there?
Will go and get photos now.......................
Many Thanks
