He's 6.5 mos now, and has started to throw his weight around. He's come at ME more than once and has chased off oldest DD (pet watcher while we're away). He's my only non English. My 8 yr old LOVES him. What do you think? Worth crossing?

ETA: Oh, his attitude started only after the baby chicks arrived... and I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as he's being protective and is even checking in on them in the first pic. Although I still wonder why keep a roo if I'm not going to breed.

That depends on wether or not you are planning to show. He has a nice tail coming in with some stiff tail feathers, and good lacing from what I can see, as well as a nice dark eye.His comb has too many points, and I don't know how large he is. He might cross very well on Eng. Os who need stiffer tails. I'd keep him a while to see how his points meld with your Eng. Os.

What kind and size of leg bands would you use on EO ? I have two different line's that Id like to keep a eye on yet let them run together for awhile until they grow up. Right now one group is 2 1/2 months old and the other is 1 month old maybe a little older.
Thanks
