Someone once said when roos begin to crow they sound like a Kazoo, and it's true.
My favorite young cockerel from this year's batch just started getting 'manly', trying to molest the ladies and being a pest to them in general. If there weren't so many pullets between two cockerels, I'd feel very sorry for the young gals.
My cockerel quite literally sounds like he's being choked to death.
I'd love to hear this one.
Another one that needs to be caught on tape.
What a handsome roo.I'll say it again...I know nothing about color inheritance. Sooo...A question for Kev AND anyone else with knowledge.
Below is a pic of one of my favorite cockerels. I don't even know what color he would be called. I plan to pen him with about 6 older NN hens in the spring that have the same very dark red color all over except that they have a few black feathers in their tails.
What are the odds of getting more solid red hens and perhaps some cockerels with less black feathers than this fella?
Thanks to all in advance! His actual color can be better seen by left clicking on the pic.

What a handsome roo.
This is mr NN " Redd " ( got as 1 of 6 guaranteed Pullets 5 were Cockerels ) when he finally got the chance to Crow his sound backwards and like he was under water in a tin can chocking.Now he's the only LF roo and is well proud of himself.
have a dozen eggs in borrowed incubator now, will candle next week.
now if he could just be more Roo like to his hens, He Runs to Eat everything . never call the hens to eat and hides when new things happen around them.
as a Cockerel
