Hello members,
I'm new to chickens. I've always wanted to have some. We bought two roosters 2 months ago. (I told you I was a newbie!) They were sold to me as blue laced red wyandottes. They are beautiful. I bought 2 because I didn't want just one to be lonely. Boy have I learned a lot about roosters in two months. I believe pecking order is finally established, fingers crossed. The man I got them from recommended this website to me. I have been married 32 years and our kids "flew the coop", so we've replaced them with chickens. We also have 2 cats (who love the chickens). My hobbies are gardening, mosaics and glass fusing. My husband and I are both retired....The Crazy Queen

Welcome! I'm pretty new to this site as well. I've seen pictures of the type of chickens you have and they're beautiful!! I have Buff Orpingtons, 5 of them, all ladies. Their eggs are delicious! They are my sweet girls and they have now quit laying and are my gorgeous lawn ornaments! I live in the mountains, have one husband, one sweet son, 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 gerbils, and 7 ducks. I also love gardening, although it's pretty much confined to a greenhouse at 9000 feet!

Glad you joined us! Roosters always turn out to be my favourite flock members. They have so much personality. Enjoy the site!
 
Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Roosters can be very enjoyable to keep as long as they DO settle into a pecking order and aren't too aggressive with you. Nothing better than the sound of dualing rooster crows in the morning!!

Enjoy all your poultry adventures and welcome to our flock! :-)
