Name: Magnum
Breed: SLW
Age: 4 - 5 months (I think)
Disposition toward humans: Not sure of me yet.. Tends to hide or run away when i go near him, I dont think he has the balls to attack lol
Disposition toward the girls:Ok, But i dont think they like him yet..

I think he is great though, I prefer him to my hens already and i have had them longer than he has been alive lol

Well, I regret to announce that Mr. I has moved down from 'Good' rooster to 'Okay.' hmm He has attacked both my Mom and my little brother. He's scared of me, but I'm not so happy about him attacking other people. Hmm....

Our main rooster is Henry. He is beautiful. A mix of RIR and various other breeds. He mostly looks like a GIANT RIR. People can't believe how nice he is, being that he is so big. He comes up to you to be fed and follows you all over the yard. He will let you get very close but won't let you pick him up. Takes care of his ladies very well too. We have 5 young wyandotte roosters right now and plan on keeping 1 of the golden laced. He isn't just nice, but lets my girls pick him up. Henry hasn't been too hard on him so we hope we get to keep him.

Again with the Games i've raised this year, i have four new stags (American game) that are perfectly harmless. And though haven't been messed with aren't really wild either. A Shamo i have is about as close as can be to perfect toward Humans.

My roo is a 1 yr old BO called "Dubloon." He's gorgeous and super protective. He has trained his flock to chase cats and small dogs. He's NOT nice but I'm still keeping him. I have no small kids and to quote my son, "How bad can it be, he's a bird?" This would make a great poll. Although, I think I may be the only one with an ornery roo.

Our EE roo, Lt. Fuzz,  is 5 months old.  Still afraid of the ladies but he has been caught doing the "deed" lately so we know he is starting to mature .  To date he is good to all of us.  Loves to be held and I can handle him without trouble to doctor or wash when necessary.  He doesn't have his spurs yet so time will tell. big_smile

I Love my boy
Name: Sunshine, what? the sun can be manly...
Temperment with me: good, he allaows me to pick him up stroke his wattles and comb.  He tried to attack me once, I wacked him and he has never done it again.
Temperment with ladies: 100% he always gives them food, and is not mating 24/7 he has to be in the mood. wink
Breed: Frizzle Cochin, so handsome.  He grows his heart out every morning and sometimes during the day, but I love to hear it.
