    Opossum Attack!!! Thank you for all the replies...

    Do I have an Americauna Rooster?

    Thanks for the compliments! He is beautiful! Our neighbors are 2 or more miles away, I'm positive they have roosters! I guess it's up to my family, I can't hear him when I sleep! I keep him with the ladies, he isn't very aggressive!
