Okay so here was my "broody rooster" last summer

He honestly cared for them like they were his babies. Although we had ordered them from a hatchery and he knew not a thing about them.

Thats so funny!!

Yes! It was. He stayed with them all throughout when they were growing up! He was disabled with his legs, he got arthritis and had some nerve damage we believe.. so he didn't like to roost on the perch cause it hurt his feet.. so he was happy to stay in the coop with the chicks all the time under the heat lamp (Which is why photos are red).. never wanted to leave them.
