Selecting a Breeding Cockerel

Breeding chickens is reliant on the quality of the cockerel/rooster that you choose. In this video we look at the attributes that we consider when choosing our breeding cockerel.

We are collaborating with the brilliant podcasters Coffee With the Chicken Ladies. Through this chicken breeding season we'll be discussing various aspects of breeding in their podcasts including following one of our Orpington broody hens all the way through until the chicks become independent.
