These were taken a few months ago before he got frost bite on his comb. He's got a more rugged handsomeness to him right now.

And while I was on photobucket looking for one of those pictures, I ran across the below video. This is Duke at 6 weeks old - and his very first crow. It still makes me laugh:

This makes me hope I get one mistake in my all-pullets order! What a guy!

What a beautiful brave boy! I hope he gets lots of extra treats for his heroism!

I'm so glad to read your post and that your chickens are fine. It saddens me every time I read a post where someone says "all roosters are good for is fertlized eggs". If they only knew. I wouldn't take anything for my big boy Thor.
Way to go Duke!

Brave and handsome too!

GOOD JOB, DUKE!!! What a sweetie! I'm sure you'll keep him around forever now!!!

GREAT JOB, Duke! He's a beauty! I have a Duke, too! I allowed my DH to name the newest roo...he's named after John Wayne.

WOOHOO!!! Roos are so nice!!! This also displays a good reason to not remove their spurs too. Both of our roos have their spurs.
