It was the first name I thought of when I saw him.

Thanks! He's such a gentle giant. His feet are as big as my hands!


The girls keep giving him kisses

You found yourself a great rooster! Not only is he handsome, but he is so gentle with the girls. I look forward to many more lovely pics and stories of your flock.

Thank you so much for sharing them with us!

He is a beautiful Roo. Where did you find him??
Stan the Man would be so proud, the ladies seem to really
take to him. He seems like he is a gentle giant.

Congrats on your new roo!!! I hope to hear more about Steele and his antics.

Oh he is just lovely and so gentle!

Thank you for sharing the photos and keep them coming!! I enjoy your pics so much! (I changed my chick order since DH didn't want a BJG roo to BO roo in case you remember me talking about it before- see siggy.)

Thanks for all the kind words.

I found Steele on a Craigslist ad. He had been on there a few weeks and I emailed the owner who stated she purchased him and a few others as chicks from a man in Landrum SC. Most of the chicks had turned out to be roosters, and she kept this particular rooster because he was so gentle. She was looking for a non-crockpot future for him. I assured her he would live out a normal life so long as he remained non-aggressive.

When I went to see him, he stuck out like a sore thumb because he was the tallest bird in her flock. Several favorelle roosters pushed him around and he ignored the rather rotund dachshund supervising our visit. He continues to be a slow moving gentle giant. He does have a strange gait because his feet are so big. He kinda looks like a big-lick walking horse. He tried to mate a hen and he looked like a monster truck rolling over a Volkswagen!
