    What breed is my bantam rooster?

    Birchen Japanese , Ive got a 5 month old myself, he's a good little roo my doesn't crow much and getting better looking all the time. His red face makes a nice contrast to the black and silver. My wife named him penn because he looked like a little penguin at first. Nice little roo youve got!

    stupid neighbor

    Chesapeke bay retrievers are good dogs but need attention . If you dont keep them occupied they will find something to do. Oh and they are kind of smelly, its the naturally oily coat that allows them to go into cold water.
