Aww that is great!! HAHA!!! Jethro is a great NAME!!OMG Julie, I'm not sure what the funniest part about bringing home that Roo was. I was absolutely right about Ty falling for him, he named him Jethro almost instantly. Not sure why... so I'm pretending it's an NCIS reference. He spent his first night sleeping in our room on top the gun case!!!. The 5 new chicks I got were in there too in the dog crate, well every time the started cheeping loudly he'd fly down and go over to them making cute little comforting noises, and they'd be quite for a while. Th next day I put him in the dog kennel so he could be outside with some yard space. Well needless to say my other adult roo is only 7/8 months old, and he had to come challenge Jethro right away, it was so so funny. They're almost the same size and after one look at Jethro with his feathers up and jumping at the cage and my poor little roo ran for the hills. My leghorn girls have never much cared for our other roos anyway, but they think Jethro is the hottest thing in town. They're already squatting for him, and its like a light turned on for my other little roo. Now he's trying to mount the girls too. Only to be shot down at very turn.
I ended up bringing home 10 roosters from the swap
