If you're allowed to have roosters and he's nice, there's no reason to get rid of him. Roosters actually don't do much for protection.Thank you all! I was wondering if it was a Brahma mix of some sort.
I got him with some other pullets (I thought they were all pullets but this chicken didn’t have as many feathers so it was a guess) from a friend who them picked them up at a poultry auction.
I’m a bit sad its a cockerel as my chickens do not free range - too may predictors to be safe so there really isn’t a need for a rooster. He is so sweet though! He lets me hold him - for now My older girls still go after him so he is pretty low key as of now
