Just to jump in on this to handle a rooster or not discussion. I have 3 roosters, 2 are nice and 1 is mean. The mean one is one that I got as a little chick and held all the time. He's the little devil sebright, I always just assume he has little man syndrome and feels he needs to be tough. The BO roo was rarely handled and he is very nice, he will come over to see what I'm doing and keep an eye on things but if I even move my hand toward him he takes off (he also goes after the Sebright roo when he tries to attack me). I also have a barnyard mix roo who was never handled and he follows me around the yard like a little puppy but again, gives me distance and never goes after me. I haven't bothered to get right of the Sebright, I don't think he would make good eats and it's just almost funny when he goes after me now...
By the way Lynzi, that white silkie I got from you is broody, she made a little nest in the shed....silly thing. She seems quite comfortable hidden behind some pipes in the little corner. I think I'll give her some eggs to sit on for me.
