I'm sad to announce that Earl has to go
I'm not sure what happened to him. He is only going to be 2 this summer
2 batches of eggs this year in the bator and only 5 chicks from him
Thank goodness Shirley was good enough to give me some eggs this last batch or I would have only 2 chicks this 2nd go in the incubator!!!
I'm just wondering if anyone has a mutt rooster for sale.
What I'm aiming for are smaller sized hens
that still lay a decent sized egg
My hens are a good size so I'm thinking if I have a smaller breed rooster I might get a new batch of average size hens
I'm not looking for purebred anything.
I'm happy with my varying colours of birds
If anyone has a rooster they think might work and have available please let me know
Thanks everyone

If you want to come check out some puppies, I have a 2016 EE rooster you can have for free :)

Haha. Thanks I am afraid to see the puppies. Lol
I should have mentioned in my post Preferably not an EE
Some of the eggs I hatched from Shirley are EEs so if one is a nice one I will keep one
But thank you very much for the offer
I'm still unsure about the muffs they have

Colleen I have these 2016 Cockerals here in meat pen . 1/2 spangled Hamburgs 1/2 Chantcler bantams .

Hi Ross
Do you think they would be big enough to mate with my hens that I have now?

As long as they squat to be bred don't know why not . What kinda hen's you got? I don't mind bringing the biggest in a pen & you bring a hen & compare .

Well now. That's a loaded question. Lol
My hens are originally from Freys. Barred rock
Black sexlink. The white ones with black neck lacing (not sure if they are Columbia rock?)
Plus I had some silver laced Wyandotte
They are all offspring of the above plus my rooster Leroy and his son Earl. The roosters are mutts but pretty big

Up to you yu got a week to decide . Just let me know before noon on Friday .Got a pic or two? Luck

I will go down down right now and get you a pic

Ross. Here are some pics
I took out my little Cochin banty for size comparison pic 2 and 3. Also an ice cream container for comparison
