I have a rooster.. now what?

[animalluv0512]

So I have a chicken that was suppose to be a she but is actually a she(o got pullets from the farm store but obviously something went haywire) he's not crowing yet which is one reason I just thought that I had a larger hen on my hands but I've been told that it depends on the rooster on when he crows. But what else do I need to know? I can't afford a different feed specifically for him I know other rooster owners and theirs does fine with layer. But is there anything else I should know about my rooster do you need to care or provide something different for just him?

You don't need separate feed for your rooster.

Roosters eat whatever everyone else is having. They aren't picky.

Roosters are a nice addition to any flock. They're pretty, entertaining, and they're smart, too. Between age five months and a year, they can sometimes get "attitude", but usually a little discipline will keep them in line.

You will probably be very happy you have a rooster.
