What is My Rooster ??

Hi Dave,

I appreciate that. Our other hen is an Ameracauna named Hawk. They both started laying eggs about 3-4 weeks ago.
What a treat! We used to have 6 other hens, but they were either killed by hawks or a fox, or they got sick and died.

We did get 6 chicks, 3 buff orpingtons and 3 ameracaunas.
We are having so much fun with them, and they have gotten so big so fast. They will be 6 weeks old this Saturday. One of the ameracaunas is a rooster, longer tail, bigger than the others. I guess we will need to find him a new home because we have our Herman.

Its been such an experience and we enjoy them soooooo much!
Thanks to everyone.

Val

Hi Mahonri,

Herman is not noisy at all. He just started crowing about a week or so ago, but its not that bad. He is pretty calm. I read the leghorn description on the Henderson chart. He isn't flighty or noisy. He eats treats from my hand. When he was younger, in November and December, he would jump in my lap to get at the treats before anyone else.

Herman is a really handsome boy, especially in the sun. The colors in his feathers show up.

Thanks for asking.
