Roosters are gorgeous and I love baby chicks but I really don't want either.
Besides being colorful and sleek, and vocal, they can be mean.These chickens came to me in a mix of standard sized breeds. I was hoping for mostly Easter eggers, but I only got one. Other breeds in the mix are Australorp, Jersey black giants, dominique, barred rock, buff Orphington, Rhode Island red, New Hampshire red, leghorns and a couple others that I don't remember.
My guy, is he a Jersey giant or an Australorp?
I have two black girls. Again, Jersey or Australorp?
Dominique or bared rock?
...pretty much sure about this one... another breed I would like to have more of.
Rhode Island red or New Hampshire red?
I've got two of these whites also, probably leghorns.These guys look so great, they've really filled out in the last couple of months and I am eagerly awaiting their first eggs. One of my older three hens has started laying again, hoping the rest start soon, Joy and I are really tired of store bought eggs.

Your chickens look great. Maybe the rooster will be nice. Joy, what a crack up!
When I was a child I lived on a small farm with horses, a sow, chickens and a rooster. The rooster (Henry) was black and white like yours and he was the nastiest thing you ever saw. My sisters and I were afraid of him!
Joy is the cutest with those big eyes :-)
I love to look at chickens, but I want someone else to raise them so I can get eggs, someone like Mim. Joy is getting so big - I'm glad she made Christmas special for you.
You could always eat him. He's still young, and would be fairly tender. I have a really neat way of home butchering - no plucking, no scalding - very simple, very easy.
Call me... I can even give you recipes!
