Aren’t they just the best? They are gentle, kind to their hens (I have two roosters and 15 hens) and randomly try to be a bigger rooster than my husband and I. So far they are still lower than us on the pecking order.
One of the roosters likes to stand up here and keep guard. They really do a nice job of being a rooster!

We only have one. He steers clear of the girls. He just watches his ‘women’. “)

I am very seriously thinking about getting some chickens! And your post really makes me want some now.I would probably have to keep them in a lot because I have a Rottweiler and a Boxer. They wouldn’t bite a biscuit but I am afraid they would kill them .
Your rooster is so pretty.

That is a most handsome bird. Lovely photos. I like that they are good to the hens–a very admirable quality.
All the best–

We decided to get rid of our Red rooster. He was just too mean, and the kids were scared to death of him. They are pretty but can be fiesty for sure! We have Orpingtons now. Much more gentle.

I once raised a Rhode Island Red from the time it hatched to the time we had to give him away. It followed me all over the house-it was such a sweet little guy.
Have a great weekend.

We didn’t get any Rhode Island Reds this time and I wished we had.
The ones we had years ago were very good layers too.
Great photos.
Have a good weekend.

We’re getting chickens next spring so I enjoyed seeing yours. Between your chickens and Pam’s, I’ll know lots about them and what kind to purchase.
