I *really* wish we could have a rooster where I live but we can't have them within the city limits, sadly. I don't see why not because my barred rocks are quite the opera singers.
We finally banded ours. Now I know who is sitting on the neat or running past my feet. One of them I can always tell who it is but the others are harder.
Me too! I actually don't have anything else to compare them to but I love my BR's. They each have a different personality but they are all curious and are happy to see me. I have a couple that are super cuddly and a couple who think they are birds and not humans lol!
