Hello Phantom_Rooster, Thank you for your kind words about the photo, and am happy that you like it as much as I do. I have it framed because every time I look at it, makes me smile.
I believe there are 22 babies. Unfortunately, he is not my rooster, belongs to my friend. But, I have one young rooster where the 8 wk. old pullets go under his wings when the weather is cold. Oh, I like your term of : drumsticks.. never heard of it before and it is quite funny!
I love the beautiful red girl on your avatar!
