    Tell me why you keep Roosters...

    Protection and reproduction... when they outlive their usefulness they become stew meat

    Thank you. I have changed my mind and am going to buy a NH Red rooster with my next purchase of chicks in the spring (I don't see an option to lock/cancel this thread)

    WANTED - RIR or NH Red Rooster

    I don't know why, but I didn't get notified of your reply to my thread. How old is he? Is he still available? I was about to give up on this (especially since someone already stood me up) and order one with some other birds this spring...

    Have you used chicken nipples?

    That's all I use... best things ever. I use a 5 gallon bucket and four 360 degree Superflow nipples in the bottom and hang it from the ceiling of the coop; it has a sealed lid on top of the bucket (bought the lid at Lowes) with a hole that I have the hose stuck into to fill... water always stays...
