I bet he'd make a fine backyard protector for a flock - maybe you can list him on your local Craigslist or bestfarmbuys.com ?  The ones that are super protective are worth their weight, IMO.

He is surely a watch dog/rooster. He lets me know if someone or something is around, and he is almost twice as big as any hawk.

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

I always tell my JG's by their eye color. Light brown is boy dark brown is girl. I always hope for roo's more than hens cool.png That's the way i do it.

NC, she is LOVELY!  Gosh, I'm not sure how many club members are "regular posters" but I'm sure I've seen at least ten folks say they are members.
