Thanks! I'm sure my rooster would blush at the praise.

I do 4-h, and you gave me an idea about photography...

Very pretty picture! Mine apparently hate the camera.

Hens are sort of camera shy, but you can tap a rooster's head around. And shoot. You just have to be patient.

You have yourself a shy lazy roo! I can tell by the back of the neck, not sure what its called, but he is deffinately a rooster. He should start to crow when he is starting to fet intersested in the hens, and begins to be protective over them. I saw this in our roo, as soon as he started to develop a pecking order with the other roo's and began to let the hens know when they did something wrong, he began to start crowing! I was so happy when we heard him, even though he sounded like a dying duck! Lol, anyways keep us updated on your new baby Roo!

The back tail feathers if the neck are called hackle feathers
