I just am so excited I had to show off our new and only boy! My son has decided to call him Cap as in Captain america or Steve 😂 but he is around 17-19 weeks, so friendly and non aggressive and so beautiful! He’s a Swedish Flower Rooster I can’t wait to see what beautiful crosses and chicks him...

Hi everyone,
