Share you Rooster pictures here :) - Page 14

This is Nigel.  He is a Chocolate Cuckoo Orpington Rooster.  Although I am not a chicken breeder, I accidentally became his owner.  His Dad look just like him but Mom was a Chocolate Orpington.  I just couldn't get rid of him as he is my pet.  He follows me around everywhere.  Since I only keep chickens for fresh eggs, I never planned this out right, but now wish I had a chocolate or a cuckoo bird to bred with him, so we could have other like him running around in the backyard.   I will see, maybe I will come across a chocolate Hen one of these days.  Meanwhile, he's hanging out with my Lav and Blue orpington (wonder what the chicks will look in that combo ;))  ..   Anyway, he is so far being good and now crowing our ear out or anything (just every now and then). 

Nigel is a looker.  If his temperament is anything like my Oprington roosters, he will  be a great pet to have around the yard.

Here is Augie (or Augustus if he is acting dignified).

I bet when you call him Augustus, he knows he's in trouble. 

He looks a lot like the Black Orpington Roosters I had (they were LF).  Nigel one the other hand suppose to be Bantam (but he's bigger than all the hen who are pretty good size)

Nigel has a pretty good temperament but recently he's gone skittish on me somewhat.  He doesn't let me approach him, he come close to me for treat but act as if I'm going to snatch at him.  Maybe coming to another phase. 

My 9 month old blue silkie cockerel has gotten most of his adult feathers in recently and is starting to figure out he's a boy.

My splash cockerel is several weeks younger and doesn't have his adult feathers in yet. He should be very pretty when he gets them.

My 16 week old ameraucana cockerel still won't sit still long enough for good pictures. If I bend down he has to come over and beg for attention. He's such an attention bug. 

And here is my 7 week old brahma cockerel in training 

!!!  You might be the only place in the whole country that has green grass! 

Lovely birdies. 

Wish I had some green anything here.

X2.  I live in Northwest Arkansas, which is currently in the most extreme level of drought on the charts   We're known to have some strange weather patterns down here, but I have lived here my entire life and have never seen anything like this.  It's so weird to see whole ponds dried up and 50 foot oak trees shedding their leaves and dying, and we've had those problems since late June...It's going to take years for the landscape to recover, there's no way the rain can catch up to the average by the end of this year.

I can't take credit for the green grass, that's mother nature's work. I'm in the pacific northwest and we have marsh on the property and a high water table. There is an about 20 acre pond that starts on our property but is mostly on the neighbors. So we stay green longer than anyone else. I don't cut grass if no rain is in the forecast to help make sure it doesn't dry. 

My handsome Buff Orpington, Rex!!

He looks like he's in deep thought about something. He's a very cute guy.
