I love that egg song!

Bad thing is she wasn't even laying just cheering for Susan the ameraucana. She cheers for everyone such a sweetheart. She even cheered for the rooster, he loved it nobody else appreciates his hard work in the nest box.

"nobody else appreciates his hard work in the nest box."

Yes, Our 1st roo was like that. He was the only male & perhaps he felt left out. He would hop into the nestbox, make some grunting noises, jump out, then strut around singing the egg song. I swear he was trying to convince me that he laid the golf balls we kept in there. He also joined in with the hens.

Hi! May I join?

Here is one of my Doms, Charlie (this picture was take about 4 weeks ago, so he's a lot bigger now!) He is a sweetheart, and loves to be held. He is around 15-16 weeks.

Here is Linus, he, once again, is too a lot bigger now. He is more of a wild cockerel, I can hold him but his hormones are starting to kick in

If they become at all people aggressive then you want to get rid of him.

They are both looking good.

@RodNTN
Where are you located? Where did you get your doms?

I once had to get rid of an aggressive rooster, hopefully Linus won't be that bad
Thanks!

TN, I bought them labeled straight run, from Rural King.

@RodNTN -- I hope Linus turns out ok too. It's so hard to re-home or cull a chicken you're attached to. I have 3 little month-and-a-half-old Dom pullets and one is so hyper and am working with her to calm her down - hope it works. They're all people-friendly since I've had visitors play with them and they have no fear of us. In fact, we have to be careful where we step because they weave in-and-out of our feet.

It's rare to see these Doms at rest so had to take this photo before they rushed me:
