hello everyone. My Name is Cookie, and my Rooster is DeWalt. DeWalt likes to sit on the toolbox in the morning...hense his name. I acquired him from the farm across the road about 8 months ago. He's tame , loves to be petted, and interacted with. Today I got 2 Road Island Reds and now want to make sure I'm doing it right.

  Glad to meet you all.

Oooh! You started with a rooster!  How cool!  So many folks either can't keep roosters where they live or they get an "accidental" rooster in a bunch of "pullet" chicks they buy and want to know how to get rid of it.  I LIKE YOU!!!!

 

My flock is fairly large (50+) with five roosters.  There were many more but I finally had to find homes for some of them.  That was TOUGH.  I loves my roos. 

 

DeWalt is a great rooster name.  big_smile.png

 

Welcome to BYC -  you are definitely in the right place to learn, share, and enjoy your chicken-keeping experience.

DeWalt is a blessing. I LOVE the wake up calls...and sometimes, I sleep through them. It's like a Grandfather Clock...you get use to it.    I live in the country, 3 acres, and DeWalt runs free. It is fenced, but mostly chainlink and chicken wire.
