Silver Laced Wyandotte roo or hen?

[teesha310]

Larger than the other hens and doesn't push them around. Total sweetheart and doesn't crow. About 4 1/2 months old.

What is an ornery rooster?

Ornery from Dictionary.com:
1. ugly and unpleasant in disposition or temper: No one can get along with my ornery cousin.
2. stubborn: I can't do a thing with that ornery mule.
3. low or vile.
4. inferior or common; ordinary.

So... he attacks your feet and is a common Production Red cockerel (not an exhibition quality Rhode Island Red). About the only thing you can do is offer him for free and HOPE somebody wants to deal with him.

100% cockerel. My Wyandotte boys usually don't start crowing until they are about 6 months old.
