Okay, Here's my Roo Biter :
My sex linked hen/Roo :
He's very flighty, so I was having a hard time getting a picture of him. He got out of the baby pen, and managed to survive the cats... so apparently, flightiness has paid off. Catching him to put him back took 2 people though.
my EE Roo's :
On the right is the roo.
The lady next to him is Louise.
This is the other roo, in the corner on the left, they are thing #1, and thing #2.
They have 6 hens, total, between them.
Neither are aggressive, or mean, and they like us, though they don't go out of their way to be held or cuddled, despite my daughter wishing they were more cuddly.
She's had better luck with her silkies/cochins being cuddly. The sex linked hens are okay being touched, the polish are flighty as all get out, and the cochins are big cuddle bugs.
Our RIR likes being picked up and she's definitely our Alpha hen.
As to the roo's, I don't know if the two I've hatched so far, are males or females.

Here's a couple of pics of my Bielefelder cockerels that I just rehomed. They were gorgeous and huge, probably good eating when they fill out. They also crowed very quietly and not that often.
ummm nope
HOLY CHEESE!!!
YOU SPELLED IT RIGHT!!!!!
LOL!!!Hey now!!! I resemble that comment!!! Lol you guys are just bound to break BYC.... I like it....

Here's my cockerel Pip, who's a Partridge Wyandotte Bantam. He is a great cockerel and is really nice to look at, but the best part is that he doesn't crow

Gorgeous birds. My RIR is our Alpha hen also - she even keeps the roos in line.
