Rufous the roo babysits

[Shell from Zim]

One of my mamma hens has abandoned her 2 chicks while laying or flirting or something. Rufous, who is an unrelated, just matured, crested roo, has become their baby sitter and is taking his role very seriously. He is even finding them titbits. What a cutie

How adorable! Rufous looks like a great caretaker -- and a very handsome guy!

How lovely! Uncle Rufus!

Looks like he's doing a great job (and what a handsome guy too)!

Sounds like he deserves to be a father for the flock's next generation.

He will stand on my hand and crow off that warm perch A character for sure Pink feet and beak too.. so unique

I am thinking he has already deposited his genes in the next gen Or at least practising lol

I have also watched him create and sit on a nest to encourage a hen to get laying

I sincerely hope that my Ludwig will read this thread and learn how to be a good rooster.
