oh Lisa I am sorry

@jrc85 I hope he is. I got him for free and was told he is 2 1\2 years old. Yes my wife and kids sang old red when picking his name.

I have a 5 or 6 year old Barred Rock Bantam rooster that still gets the job done!

what is the age they stop? I swear I have no clue, I turn them around so much they dont have a chance to get that old
