here’s a pic of my buddy. unlike the rest...he will die of old age. i had intentions of eating any rooster we got but this guy picked me as his friend from about the first week. we have never kept a rooster but this one changed the plan. he knows he’s a pet.

yes...and i get plenty of flack from my friends. i was the person that said, “if we get any roosters we’ll eat them in three months”...but this guy is something else. i saw a post about chickens know their names and thought it was a bunch of “bull”...but this guy comes when i call him...but only...
