Show off your roosters

[troyer]

When our first rooster had to go, we got in trouble by several of our neighbors. Saying that they missed hearing the rooster crow, it didn't matter what time of the night or day. It made them feel like they were in the county. Now we have a total of 7 roosters in our area, and no one complains about them.

You are very fortunate to have those neighbors. It's good to hear that there are some non chicken raisers that still enjoy hearing roosters crow.

Nice.I like the looks of him.What are they used for?

Thet are supposed to be a heritage breed (meat and eggs). They have been really neglected until just a few years ago to the point of looking similar to a Leghorn, several of us are trying to get them back to the dual purpose status again. For now they are mostly show birds.

We are very fortunate that is for sure. Its very interesting when you walk outside, and you hear a wave among all 7 roosters. But it kind of gives that out in the county feel, but in town.

That is a crazy hackle.... Do you have a better picture showing the two tone?

That was caused from him sticking his head through the wire to get water.That cock looks like he has twice the neck feathers my other Sweaters do.Can't count the times he's been "shown",he's Wicked with a capital W.Retired to the brood pens now at 5 years old.
