Pair Large Fowl Brown Reds

[Mike Gilbert]

I have one extra large fowl Brown Red cockerel and pullet available, but would prefer not to ship.    I like to save an extra cockerel back until I know my breeder(s) are fertile, and they are based on candling results last week.  This pair would make someone a decent start in this variety.  Contact me at:  info@redstagacres.com for details.

Why do you tempt me so?

[Mike Gilbert]

Maybe this will help.   They are both under standard weight.
But nice dispositions and type.  :rolleyes:

I can use an infusion of good type.  I have decent size and the color of my LF black gold is improving.  If you don\'t find a more local potential breeder, I\'m interested.  I\'d prefer not to ship, also, but I can\'t quite drive there.  ^_^

[Mike Gilbert]

Okay.  I\'ll wait a bit and let you know if no one else wants them within driving distance.   There is one other person ahead of you if I have to ship, but she has not confirmed yet.

These are sold.  

You\'re welcome Mike...

At least they will be within driving distance.

About type, I have a young cockerel that I thought was going to be a pullet for the longest time.  I\'m thinking the obvious baby cockerels have longer necks.  Do y\'all think the ones that we think might be pullets end up as cockerels with better type - at least in the equal head and tail height?

The deal is not closed yet Jean.

Never noticed it or thought about it Lyne.   I do like fast maturing cockerels, and they are generally the ones you can count on to be fertile and vigorous.   I tend to cull out the ones that mature slowly.

I will call her, she said she sent an e-mail asking where to send payment yesterday.....

I don\'t really think this little fellow is slow maturing.  I was guessing a pullet because the neck was not long.  I should take a photo.  He has cockerel feathers coming in and is still shaped like a pullet (doesn\'t have a long neck).

The pair of large fowl brown red\'s is sold.   I\'m told a check has been mailed.  Thanks to all for your interest in this variety.
