He does not allow me to handle him - I'm not sure I would even know how! He does come to me mainly I think because I kept offering him different foods trying to see what he would be interested in! We have family that keep chickens and roosters and they return from vacation this next weekend -...
With both the feed store and a country vet next door to us, we've definitely thought about it but neither of us had very much experience other than having family that kept chickens! It's interesting how comfortable he seems without any set up for a rooster! I am pretty sure we have the space...

Wow! :) That's some good information right there - and just from a pic! :) thank you so very much - I'll look into those scaly leg mites - sounds horribly uncomfortable!!
How many chickens would he need? We are willing to care for him if no one claims him. I have ordered different food/snacks (meal worms) for him. I was looking at coops and runs - not sure how big it would need to be - do they need to be kept separate from the chickens? he's been sleeping on...
