These are pics of Colonel aka Romney, our Buff Orpington Rooster. I raised him from a chick, hatched in March 2012. We had to re-home him in Nov. 2012 because he and our Ameraucana Rooster didn't get along. I miss my gentle giant, he was so good with our girls, coaching them with their first eggs, and during free range time he would round up the hens that wandered away. He never pecked at me and let me pick him up all the time. :(
