How is his temperament? Right now he is actually sweeter than my pullets, but curious of that changes as they get older.

He was very loving as a young one. Now he just wants to do his job and protect his girls. He's vey good at warning of hawks etc in the area. I never turn my back on him though. . nor would I with any rooster lol

This is Lester. I tried to get good close ups of both saddle and hackle feathers so you can see how beautiful he is with shades of golden buff

He is beautiful! I am still undecided if I want to keep him. I just worry about my kids.
