Show off your roosters

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

That sounds like paradise unfortunately I think it would be very complicated to have so many coops haha

It can be, especially right now in winter where I have about a million waterers to bust ice out of and refill every day, sometimes twice a day! But I couldn't see these boys go to the freezer, mine or someone else's, and it's pretty hard to find good homes for roosters around here, so I figure it's worth it to know they're safe and happy.

Yes I agree they’re worth it

Head rooster Stilton, a.k.a. Stiltz, a.k.a. Stilty B. Purchased as a day-old Easter Egger pullet, instead we got a vigilant, friendly rooster. He's kinda scrappy and doesn't tolerate other males, but he's good with hens and humans...as long as you're not on the phone. He'll crow incessantly and kick your feet.

I made him this "crowbar" between 2 trees. It's the first place he runs every morning after he talks and dances at the hens coming down the ramp.

These photos are from June; I'm missing that lush, green landscape as I prepare to melt open coop locks in a minute.

Here are our 2021 Marans bachelors, Andre the Giant Chicken (black copper) and Merle Hagbird (blue copper). It doesn't convey in photos, but Andre is massive.

Checking out snow for the first time. You can see them conferring about what on earth that cold, crunchy stuff is.

Wow. You really have some dream dates there! Gorgeous boys!

Ludwig, King of the very expensive castle, Neuchickenstein. He's a 7-month Black Langshan Cockerel.

And Red, also a 15-week Blue Australorp -- the spare to the heir.

And Yellow, the first cull -- who is a not a good Australorp at all, but who has the prettiest tail ever seen on a cockerel of his age.

The rooster on the right (last picture) looks a lot like my old rooster. He is dead now. I kind of miss him.

Here are my 3. They are all friendly guys. (I have grandchildren, so I wouldn't keep anything else.)

Goliath is a large easter egger brahma mix. He is 7 months old. He is over 28" tall)
Butterbean is his half brother (also a brahma mix) and is much smaller. Probably around 8lbs.
Doris is the father of both. He is from a blue orpington x blue ameraucana mix. He is around 25 to 26" tall and weighs 12 lbs.
I love big, friendly roosters.
