Surprised the neighbors haven't called the town yet, since he is attempting to crow . No he is not dead just taking a dirt bath in the area I just cleaned up.

I love the coop and the roo. To bad you can keep him. Does he crow alot.? So far I don't think I've heard the SFH roosters crow. My dels aren't big crowers either. Silkies are though and BO and BR's. If I had just Dels I might not have as much crowiner.

I like the flowers and I've got a crate I'd like to turn into a coop like yours. I like the color too. Did you paint it yourself?

My polish crow incessantly as well as our blue black splash orp and the silver laced cochin. The dels don't crow much here either that is why I am debating on keeping one but I just can't decide!

Well I hear these guys at 4:30 am. My Dels are not so noisy. They may crow a few time during the day but the Amer, BR , Maran, and Or's are a pain. The silky roo was worse.

They do have banatam Dels though I've never seen any. But you get yourself a Del roo if you want to keep a rooster.

Stony - congrats on the pips and I hope everything turns out well..

take care,

Rancher
