Gorgeous! I love my Black Jersey Giant. He's only six months old, but he defers to the older rooster, has good people manners and does not abuse the hens. About 6 of the young Black Australorp hens follow him like groupies around a rock star, lol! Definitely a keeper.View attachment 2350154
I keep more than one flock and each has at least one rooster.
The king of roosters here is my New Jersey Giant rooster named “Big Otis”.
The NJG flock of 40 has three roosters and the youngest is Otis’s son. While young, he still has a few hens who are following him around when they free range. Watching the rooster dynamic is entertaining
