i love my roosters. I am sure I have too many right now, but we all have our favorites.
We even have a roo that when my Grandaughter visits, she fetches him from the coop, puts him in a chicken diaper and brings him in the house to watch power rangers. He falls right to sleep on her lap and she loves to play pet and hold him.
Can you imagine what the farmer thought the first time his neighbor brought a dog in the house?
I know people who still think that is silly.
As I was reading your description of the rooster being afraid but not showing it, I pictured Hulk Hogan walking into an elementary class room unannounced. Boy what might that poor teacher look like! You are right on a good rooster will be in front afraid or not. The one that hides behind his ladies will not protect them very well.
Great article, I enjoyed it
