You all PLEASE be carefull. Chickens held close to the face can suddenly peck the eyes. They aren't being mean, but they are attracted to the glint in your eye. Don't let this happen to you........Pop

I also found myself with a gentleman. He was not breeding quality, but his temperment with people saved him from the previous owner's stock pot. they are downsizing and I needed a good tempered roo. (i am king\queen chicken in my coop and will not tolerate competition)

He does not like to be touched, and he gets upset when you upset his girls... but does not fight with people. (I was warned not to put mature males with him, he is a fighter!)

I have two roos and they both let me hold them like babies! They are so sweet! I have always been led to believe that roosters are angry and mean yet my polish boy YingYang follows me everywhere and keeps pretty close to me when we are in the front! I am soooo happy that you rescue chickens even though they become food! HAHAHAHA Do whatcha gotta do!!!

This is Yingyang!

Yingyang crowed on 8-25-11 and Chick-o-tay crowed on 5-11-12!!!!! ROOSTERS ROCK!!!

I LOVE MY BABIES!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!! 11 Hens and 2 crowin' Roos!!!!!<3<3<3

He is really cute!

Romans 8:38-39

For i am convinced that neither death nor life,neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future,nor any powers,neither height depth,nor anything else in all creation,will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Even though I do like to hug certain roosters, I do admit you have a point, Pop. My chickens do like to peck things that shine and aggression has nothing to do with it. One time I was checking inside the coop, one of my hens came up to me and I smiled in response and she pecked my teeth. I didn't hurt, but if it had been my eye, it would have been a different story. I tend to hold my chickens in the crook of my arm more than face to face.

CHICKENS:to name just a few cochin, orpington, OEG also have: mute swans, geese, and cats
