I drove for a little over one hour today to visit "Nadine", a fellow chicken person on this site. She was kind enough to sell me an Auraucana rooster. And show me all of her chickens !
She has all of these gorgeous chickens, some in tractors, some in their own housing and her laying hens free ranging.... Everywhere you look she has chickens !!!
Any way, I just arrived home and have put my rooster in the dog kennel where my (only) hen can see him. He thinks she is the cutest thing on two legs with feathers.
She is furious because this "thing" has invaded her territory !!
(She has never seen a rooster before
)
I will put them in the coop together, after his quarantine is over. Maybe by then she will be used to seeing him. I sure hope when he starts crowing, she doesn't start crowing again . . .
It is funny to own a hen that crows. All the neighborhood kids were sure she was a he until she started laying eggs. Now they are sure I have the strangest chicken in the world !

equals
I guess my next trip will be to pick up an incubator.
Thanks Nadine
