Joxer - black Jersey Giant roo
Rupert - a mutt, the alpha rooster
I did have Kanga (Kanga-rooster), an EE, and Houdini, a blue Jersey Giant. Kanga sired some very friendly chickens, including Rupert. I miss you Kanga...RIP.
we had one we had to give away - when we thought they were all pullets we named him Cutler-Bailey after two of the Denver Broncos.
we've learned two lessons.
1. don't names chicks after men. all the others were girls or non gender specific names, and they all turned out to be hens.
2. don't name chickens after your favorite football team, or the team ends up having a crappy season. Cutler-Bailey might be a better name for a horse or some strong, fast animal.
Well, our first rooster was a game and we named him Rocky, the we had a huge white rock that would eat your Hand and we named him Mr. Friendly. My black silkie tha tgot killed was Dancing DAve. We now have Bossman, Rusty Spec. Boogy, Fluffboy, Leggs.

Way to go on saving him. I saved one also by gently cracking the shell and using a eye dropper to moisten the shell membrane enough for him to escape and be placed back with broody mom....
