UNPOPULAR OPINIONS! 🥴

Another "unpopular opinion," which is understandable. I have been blessed with great flock roosters who were fully committed to their hens. I have witnessed them warn and gather the hens under a bush and help them keep their heads cool while a hawk swooped right around them several times. They also sometimes face off with my "oh-so dangerous" cats and sometimes scare them off, and my current roo has faced off with my puppy three times his size who sneaked into the chicken pen (and could have been a real threat too).

I know that other roos aren't so reliable, but mine are and I love it!
SAME! I have the weirdest looking mix breed of what we assume is a Frizzle-Silkie mix (with uncountable toes). He has knifes for spurs, chases his hens into a circle so none get lost, and has a 100% success rate on incubating eggs with his flock. It was so sad because I had an older chicken given to me, but he took this old girl into his flock. But, when she died, he wouldn't enter the coop because he only enters last to make sure his ladies are safe. We couldn't catch him, he slept on top on the coop. We had to morbidly show him the body (we always take sick chickens indoors) in order for him to accept she was gone to get him in the coop . We haven't had one hen in his flock die of predators. And the funny part is he showed up randomly around 5 years ago when I first got hens (attracted by the ladies :lau) and is one of the 'so-ugly-it's-cute' things you will ever see!! His name is Fabio, because of his long flowing locks of feathers (my Grandma insisted on the name)
