I have two RIR hens, one Leghorn hen, and a Silkie rooster. I live in the city and a neighbor literally dumped the rooster over the fence into my yard. Since he started crowing a month after that, I've been trying my best to keep peace with a couple of my neighbors who aren't too happy with him. He's a great watchdog, and my hens are happy, sweet birds that we raised since they were only about a week old.
