Hello, I'm new to BYC And thought about posting to find out if this guy was really a Roo and he is
I was hoping he was too when I picked him out. A friend of mine had too many roosters and offered to give me one (Shes not sure on what breed he is either). So I picked out this handsome guy mainly because he was very calm and friendly, we only wanted a friendly rooster who wouldn't chase us or attack hens, my mom said that was impossible, but thankfully we found This guy I just love him. We used to have a roo a long time ago, but at the time we only had one hen and he would not leave her alone and so our neighbor gladly took him. So far he has been protecting the hens and lets me hold him and hasn't even pecked me once or acted dominant near me, but hes still young. Sometimes I wonder about my RIR Pullet though shes not very nice sometimes.
From what I have seen on other posts Im guessing he is a EE. He has the beard and tuffs and no wattles. And greenish legs. But his color confuses me. Anybody know what his color is called? I would like to show him in the fair, but I think he has to go under barnyard cross.
I'm not sure on his age, probably about 4-5 months so he will most likely change colors still. When I got him he was all black and white, now he is growing reddish feathers and his green tail feathers and saddle feathers are growing out nice, except the neighbors dog pulled a couple out
Well anyway here he is, I tried to get as many good pictures as I could, thankfully he was easy to handle today
Usually I have them free ranging 24/7 but the neighbors dog was making me really nervous, but I think my dogs chased her off. They are mad at me for keeping them locked up, they just love scratching in the horse poo
And if you need any other photos, just ask and I'll take em right away.
I would also like to see other pictures of EE Roos, I've only seen a few that look close to his color on here and would like to see if there were anymore.
Thank you
