    Quote: I just loved this!!!!!Really made me I love the chicken math too, I need to educate my husband, It may help me seem less crazy. An example of my current method; " I am picking up a new rooster this weekend" " Didn't you just sell a rooster?" " No, I sold 2, so I need a new one" "...

    Oh, I meant to ask, where is it bad to have alot of red? The chest? When I was photographing him today I was noticing just how colorful he is. So many shades from gold to cinnamon, red, the green and purple sheen to the black feathers. Is there anything prettier than a Wheaten Marans Roo?
