He actually screeches. It’s not pretty.. haha but he’s nvr laid an egg & he has waddles. Looks much different than my hen. I thought it was strange when he 1st started getting in the nest as soon as my hen would leave it.Does this rooster crow?
haha I know his actions are quite questionable. But I’m pretty confident that he is! I realize the rarity I’ve always heard that roosters play no part & sometimes can even harm or kill a new chick but he is so good with them. He is honestly more involved than she is right now. Really fun 2 watch.Hmm, I don’t think he’s a he.
What makes you think he is a rooster so confidently?haha I know his actions are quite questionable. But I’m pretty confident that he is!

Thanks for your response!
It’s the coolest thing! It was actually really funny & I thought @ 1st he was just copying her. I kept moving him & he would just throw a little fit & continue going back 2 the nesting box.It can happen. Grey Junglefowl roosters play a much larger role with their young. I have always wanted a rooster that would do it, but no luck so far.
