I know! And I really really want to keep my buff orpington (the only one I have) + it will mess up my rainbow of flock color LOL! Maybe he'll keep quiet..... the other girls would miss him I think. He is always the first one to hop up on my lap, but I can already see roo traits--he pecks me to death for treats and is just definitely the leader. Guess he knows his job, even as a baby. But.... sadly, I'm not really supposed to have ANY chickens where I live, much less roosters. I am a closet bird keeper..... sssssssshhhhhhhhh! I do have a pretty large property, far from neighbors.
