Would love to see the winners. Where do I find that?

Love him! He's beautiful! I compliment you on the photo. It's good that you got lower to see him eye to eye instead of overtop of him.

Hi. He's a "Barnyard Mix". Not an official breed. It's what you get when you let nature just do it's thing. I lost my rooster to the road and was looking for another. I met a lady trying to re-home 5! I told her I could only take one, but we were both happy. Mr. Burt was hatched at her...

My "good" boy; Mr. Burt.

This is Mr. Burt.

BYC...meet Mr. Burt.

This is my Mr. Burt.

Amurr, I love your profile pic!! Is that your rooster? He looks a bit like my Mr. Burt. Wondering if you give him "mash" (water moistened feed). At the right consistency, you can form it into a ball in your hand for him to peck. Mine's not blind, but he loves his mash and I feed it to him...

Here's my handsome boy; Mr. Burt.

my rooster is a typical rooster with other people. You're right, I am careful. I'm also diligent about consistently "putting him in his place". He, along with my hens are fenced in in an area about 40 feet by 90 feet. (about a fifth of an acre?) If I'm expecting company, he gets temporarily...

I also want to add that I have one acre in the country. Mr. Burt is my only rooster and together he and I take great care of 5 hens. They're all the same age at about 2 years old.

I seldom put my "2 cents worth" in, but on this topic, I must. I've always had a rooster and couldn't be any more in love with them. However, he can't be allowed to think he's the one in charge. First, you have to change your fear into a bit of anger that you're being controlled by a smaller...

ok, so I'm better with chickens than computers!

...and my barnyard mix; Mr. Burt! I love my rooster!

My R.I.R.; Pipp.

I just want to say how helpful everyone has been! I truely appreciate your advice, suggestions, and opinions!

Thanks for letting me know what's NOT working for you!

...and it's made in the USA!

I'm fortunate enough to be home almost always. I considered a tractor, but the ground is unlevel and I feel certain that as long as they're confined to a space small enough to move around, even on wheels, that they'll wiggle under. My main concern is keeping the chickens IN. I've lost my two...

So glad to see more replies to this post! I'm going with fencing that is 4 feet tall. I think personally, I would come to regret anything shorter. I'm also choosing fencing with 2" x 4" hole openings. I have RIR and Plymouth Rocks and one person said they saw theirs go through 4 x4 openings...
