Rooster Thread

He is very pretty!


One of my cockerels does the same thing! He is human-friendly to the point that he thinks I am a hen and he needs to treat me like a hen.


Phoenix is so cute! I see Phoenix must be a popular name for male chickens, LOL.

I named him Phoenix because he and his brother hatched despite 110+ temps. We aren’t keeping the brother tho

My dog's name is Mavic! And he gets called Maverick by other people all the time, LOL. In fact, your rooster kind of looks like him, as far as the gray color goes.

I've shared my boys in threads all over the place here... But I think I can squeeze in another... Lol

Here's our guys...

Noah is a SLW x BPR cross, and Nila & Noli are Light Brahma x RIR crosses. They're 3 1/2 months old.

Arslan, SLW (Noah's dad) doing his best flamingo impression. He's 2 1/2 years old.

Thors is our Jersey Giant Cockerel (5 months old). He's testing my chair arm for stability.

And here a nice shot of Effie (Polish 5 months) hanging out with Arslan

Thank you! Here is Phoenix laying down. I have noticed 2:00 is the time of resting for my chickens, and Phoenix sleeps a lot when his hens are not up foraging. I went out at around that time and checked on the chickens. Phoenix was up, but laid down when some of his hens went in the pen to rest. I crouched down beside him and he let me get really close to him. When he wants to rest, Phoenix quietly clucks at his laying spot until a hen comes over to join him. Or me, he is even comfortable with me.

When I went out today, Slate was hidden inside of a bush, clucking like crazy. He was trying to tell the hens he found a good laying spot, and Tomato listened to him afterwards and laid her egg in there. Slate guarded her outside of the bush. Tomato is one of Phoenix's hens, but it seems like these chickens integrate themselves in the wrong yard every day, LOL.

I got some good pictures of Slate while he was guarding Tomato in the bush.

And of course, I will not hesitate to take a picture of a fluffy Cochin butt.

Handsome man you have there. I had one this past year that had similar coloring starting that hatched from a Black Copper Marans x Silver Laced Wyandotte pairing.
The gold leakage over silver looks pretty neat for a BYM.

Edit....I was calling mine a BYM, not yours.
