Official BYC Poll: What Do You Use Your Rooster/s For?

[ForTheLoveOfSilkies]

I keep roosters for just about everything; I have my flock roo, my pet roo, my show roo and my ornamental roo. Sometimes I have the exotic extra roo just to fill in the slot, lol. I like roosters, and have not yet had an aggressive one.

What breeds?

What breeds?

I mostly have wyandottes as roos, my family really likes them. RIR roos are also a fav, but only when we raise them (which is probably why they aren't aggressive). I've tried barred rocks, bantams, feather footed, polish and mixed breeds. I think I had a buff orpington once.
My luck with feed store chicks is ALWAYS roosters, never bought a batch that didn't have at least one. This is probably because the people at the store who sex the birds know less than me, lol.

I would like to try Brahmas, I hear that they make good roos.

My rooster used to run away from me when I approached him, but now he just stands there and lets me pick him up, so I guess he's a pet now
