My last rooster I rehomed. (White Rock) I was not ready to breed at that time. I hatched out some roosters, but they will not be ready to breed till summer. This one is 8 months old and I just got him from Chicken friends. He is an EE mix. I like his long tail.

This morning he was shy, I took him off the roost and put him on the floor. He squatted for me. I petted him and told him it was okay. He is exploring his environment. And the nest boxes.

It lets you know what is on his mind, and of course how would my hens know where to lay if it was not for a rooster who's first time in their coop was there to show them?
