As we are not allowed to keep roosters, I have no experience with them but I see you have received some great tips and advice so far.
I just wanted to add that I hope you enjoy BYC; not only is it overflowing with lots of useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures about chickens, turkeys, duck, quail, Peas and pretty much any other feathered and non feathered friends
Greetings from Kansas, Cathie, and ! Great to have you in our community! You've already received some great advice so I'll just say best wishes and thanks for joining this great site!! e
