Show off your roosters

That is probably the most gorgeous roo I've ever seen!
 
This is my blue copper Marans rooster and my black copper Marans rooster. Pictured here at 7 months and 6 months. They have grown quite a bit since then. The blue has a considerable amount of copper, but some of my hens have very little copper, so I am hoping he will help in that department.

 
And finally, this guy, aptly named Bruce Jenner. He was a surprise breeding...didn't realize my BLRW roo got to my columbian Wyandotte hen. But he was meant to be. I gave him to my SIL as a chick. She returned him because he was a he. He came back, and didn't act like a he, did not have his rooster saddle feathers, NEVER crowed. He acted just like a hen. I sent "him" back, only for my SIL to catch him crowing on video. So I took him back and awhile later, I took him to a chicken processing demo, as we are learning to process some of our chickens. He narrowly escaped the freezer that day. Somehow he managed to miss the next processing day and long story short, he ended up becoming my nanny rooster. He looks after my babies, and helps keep my toddler entertained. He is the only chicken in my yard who does not have to stay in a pen. He has the run of the yard. Wakes me up every morning at my bedroom door on my patio and generally looks after everything around the yard.
He is not going anywhere...I absolutely love him.

What a cute story! I want him! Lol
 
We had a roo a long time ago and we just absolutely loved him. He was so handsome and full of personality and he knew it! The military moved us for 4 years where we couldn't keep chickens, but now we're back (hopefully for good) and one of the first things we did was start a new flock. No Roos in this one, but we're tempted. I guess the biggest problem is, you never know how aggressive your sweet little day-roo could end up being and with 3 small children, it's too big of a risk to take. I've seen some pretty sweet, docile roos, but it seems more often than not, they hit that year old mark and catch an attitude. *sigh* One day we will have a beautiful roo!
