First time crowing!

[RebelEgger]

I went out to open the coop this morning and found that Gwennie woke up with his big boy voice. He did it 3 times for me.
Even though I have to rehome my roosters is it weird I’m proud of him??

I love hearing a cockerel's first attempts at crowing! I'm sorry you can't keep him.

Thanks, I so want to keep him but everything I've been told i that if he stays with the girls he grew up with he will torture them once the hormones kick in He's such a sweet boy

Ive never had a rooster that has been mean to his hens. My little bantam Sebring started crowing yesterday. He is too cute for words!!!

Roosters protect their hens. He may peck at you if he thinks you are trying to get at them. I have had 5 boys. All from day old chicks and other than breeding they are great with their hens. The hens torture each other though

Please. My pullets bully my cockerel all the time. Whoever told you that is just flat out lying. Its normally the opposite.

He is precious!! I've always wanted bantams, that's what I wanted years ago but everyone laughed at me because apparently (according to my family) they aren't "real chickens". I WILL have them someday!!! What type of bantam is Sebring?

Thanks @Homesteadermomma6382 & @Ihavesomechickens , I have been thinking of trying to keep one of my boys... I think I may just give it a go! They're too handsome to send else where... especially freezer camp!

Most cockerels grow up to be amazing dudes, but like most things, only the bad ones get mentioned.
