I'd like to see how many people are happy with their boy, and why. I'd also like to see if there is a trend toward mean roos or good ones or if it's about even.
I guess I'll start:
Name: Mr. Incredible
Breed: Buff Orpington
Age: 4 months
Disposition toward humans: Shy; he doesn't like being held, but he has never attacked anyone.
Disposition toward the girls: Good; he follows them around and calls them over when he finds a treat.
I was really worried after hearing about so many stories about mean BO roos and that a lot of people seemed to think that handling cockerels a lot as chicks sometimes actually made them more likely to end up nasty. But Mr. Incredible (at least, so far) has been a very good boy and has never tried to attack anyone. He's a bit shy around people and doesn't like to be held, but he loves his girls and takes wonderful care of them. I hope he lives a long time!
P.S. If I put this in the wrong place, please tell whoever's supposed to know so they can move it.
