French Toast
10 weeks old
Buff Orpington
French Toast is the oldest of this hatching and has taken the role of protector. He's also quite friendly once he gets to know you. He's got a lovely sound to his crow and is teaching the other roo to crow as well. The ladies seam to not mind that he rules the roost.

Gizmo can be a friendly Cockerel, He is mostly concerned with attempting to keep the neighbors hens over to add to his harem.

He looks red in the picture? More like a New Hampshire red I think but not a dark red like a Rhode Island red.

This is what Buff Orp roos usually look like (not mine)

He was the meanest rooster I ever had. I had to be armed with a rake or stick or some implement to keep him from flying up to cut my face. He drew blood on my arms many times. He was killed by a stray dog. I wasn't unhappy about it at all.

This is his "look". It meant it's time to run!

Elwood was a lovely rooster! He had a cross beak but did just fine. He ate all on his own and I didn't help him with that at all. He was good to the girls and had a couple of babies. A stray dog came into the yard and attacked him. He didn't survive his injuries. I cried and cried.

I miss you Elwood.

I know but I've seen many darker ones and I know the people we got them from personally and they only have Buff Orpington's

All the New Hampshire I've seen have yellow legs, mine don't they are more flesh tone legs . Maybe a Red Orpington and I might have mis understood what my friend said. Now I'm confused .
