nice looking roo. I'm sure you will miss him. Had to get rid of mine too and I miss him even his crowing at 5:30 every morning. My 3 hens don't miss him though :)
I have 2 Golden Comets and 1 RIR. They are all 3 still laying an egg everyday. They are very docile and very inquisitive about everything. They did well in the 100 degree summer we had and also they haven't had any problems with the cold so far been in the 20's at night. I wanted to get some...

Yesterday 3 of my 4 hens all ate a small frog. They would each try to pull the lgs off or break it into smaller pieces but as soon as the other hens would see them and try to take it away from them they would just swallow it whole. Couldn't believe they would eat the whole frog like that lol
