A Rooster Love Story
It's the same story as everyone else's, I guess: my favorite blue cuddly chick turned out to be a rooster. And, like all the others before him, he was the very best of all roosters until one day he just wasn't. I can't even tell how many times he's flogged me by now - I have a scar from a...- Saum Creek

Two-year-old Lavender Orpington Rooster - Tualatin, OR
I have 10 hens and a two-year-old rooster named Bluebarb, whom I've had since he was born. However I work at a school with acreage and can't let my chooks out to free range after hours as I'm afraid Barb is going to run across a straggler child.

I DID read that which led me to remain optimistic. Hoorah for girls! I love my rooster, he is a sweet bub, but I only have 6 hens and couldn't keep another rooster - it was heartbreaking to think of Opal being a boy!- Saum Creek
