Hello! My name is Nick and I’m located in Washington state. We’ve had 20 chickens (19 hens and a rooster) for a little over a year now.

We have about 10 different breeds of bird and I’m still on the fence about keeping our rooster - he’s not as aggressive as the other two we started with (I re-homed them), but I’m watching him.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

So glad you decided to join us. Keeping a rooster is all your call. If he is not aggressive toward you, he cares for his hens, and you don't mind the crowing, he's worth keeping. If he turns nasty toward you, abusive toward the hens and makes a butt out of himself, you might not want to keep him.

Enjoy your flock and welcome to ours!

Hiya Nick! Welcome to BYC!

A roo that watches over the chickens, treats his ladies nice and doesn't attack humans is worth their weight in gold.
