Show off your roosters

Norman in his new vest. I made it up from an old hat a few nights ago, since I needed something to keep him tied up with at the show when I'm not watching him.

(PS I'm probably gonna be spamming this thread with pics of Norman the next few days since I'll be with him 24/7... lol he's even gonna sleep in the bathroom of my hotel room!)

Don't you get nervous taking him places that he will get sick? I don't ever think I'd compete with my birds ever because of that.

Eh, it's really very unlikely for birds to get sick simply by being at a show. It's more buying birds and bringing them home that spreads disease. Although regardless Norman is not actually competing, just hanging out at my booth on the fairgrounds with my bosses' sale pullets. Though I do also have a Silkie of my own competing.

Hmm I would still be too paranoid that is a lot of germs from a lot of dif flocks all together in one place.

Yep! He's going to the Santa Rosa Heirloom Expo this week... I'll have him in a harness and on a leash for folks to see and pet. Living proof against the "all roosters are mean" crowd... amazing how many people think that.

totally!

My little 3 month old chick stubbernly refused to move out of the way of the door to his day pen yesterday and my hands were full so I gently put my foot on his chest to move him back a few inches and he puffed up at me and tried to stare me down, all while not budging! I tried to not laugh at his misplaced bravado and pushed back a little harder and he pushed back! So I put my armful of things down and grabbed him and held him under my arm while he angry clucked me all over the yard. Lol...that's a first for him..I put him down after he calmed and excepted me holding him. Silly Milo..

I had my old Leghorn cockerel do that I would stick my hand in his cage and he would peck me as hard as he could and spur me with all his might and i slapped him with all my might

Lol this is the method we use with our roosters also. It amazed me how well it works!! They are so funny when they act that way. Our acts that way when I hold his lady. He will also start acting like he has found a treat to tempt her away from me lmao. I love roosters! They are so comical!

Ashes is starting to get hackle feathers in. Here's his attempt at looking all adult. He's become my fully posable silkie action figure. He knows that there is scratch when I'm done taking pictures.
