Subject: [CHICKENS-101] Some Roosters
These two guys were hatched together May 30. They may be the last of this line as something took off with Black Bart and 3 of his hens leaving me with two pullets and a small clutch of 3 eggs. I have no idea which hen was responsible for the splash Roosters. It could be one of the two remaining hens or one of the ones that went south. It happened last year and I sent "Spot" to Cathryn. If Back Bart contributed the Splash genes then they are gone. Anyway, Cathryn has advised me not to continue breeding to close, known as "Line Breeding", as my little flock could use some improvement. So what do I do with these two guys. They are quite happy together at the moment. It's just a little rough on the 3 hens. But that could change. If any one is interested I have a box. You would really have to want them real bad the freight is over $50.00. just for one. I would consider delivering if it's not two far. Say a couple hours from the Mass./NH border in any direction.

They are not identical but very close.
The other alternative is to keep one of the roosters and get new hens for him.
