The Brave cockerel

or possibly a foolhardy one or perhaps just a little slow
but he did raise alarm and lost a handful of feathers for his troubles, so may have to keep him ?
Problem is, what would I breed him to?
This is a place where everybody has a job, so to keep him I need to justify it.
Out of Columbian male and Black hens, he has some fairly attractive leakage on wings and the type isn't too bad.
What do you think?

some random feathers still coming off of him, otherwise no damage.

Nice shape. As I see it he does have a job!

I can't tell is that feather loss or leakage on the wings?
I would sell him off with a hen for company, I was thinking he was Columbian for you to keep him.

It's leakage, if he was Columbian I would be in seventh heaven :)

I think you should start a new line
Find yourself some silver pencilled, or silver laced, or even start a barred wyandotte project
Or just breed give him a couple nice Columbian hens, and hope the Columbian restriction does its' magic

At this point I think I would have to find myself a new home first
there are grumbles from the hired hand, numbers will have to be kept in check,
or KB can I move in with you?
