i am a 50 yrs old man and just started raising chickens last yr when i came home from the tractor store with 6 birds...2 turned out to be roosters and i gave them to my daughters boyfriends sister to raise for the 4-h..they were speckled sussexs and were very nice birds but i was afraid my neighbors would run me out of town ..anyways she took them to our county fair and won a bunch of blue ribbons ..and wouldn't ya know my neighbors wanted to know why the roosters stopped crowing and that they enjoyed hearing them in the morning ..kinda of figures ya know ..lol..so that's why i ordered a new rooster and who doesn't love corny the cornflakes rooster ..i spent plenty of morning staring at that bird on the box ..lol..i love my birds and they seem to like me too..i no some get rid of birds once they stop laying but my flock will always have a home here even when the stop laying ..we look at our animals as family ..and i wouldn't think of eating my children..lol

and Welcome To BYC! Lucky you have a neighbor who likes roosters! Welsummers are beautiful roosters, even green ones on the cereal box! Sounds like you had some beautiful Specked Sussex roos too, great job at the 4-H fair with them.
