Why do we need a loud bossy rooster?!?!...Oh, that's WHY!!!

[Duckee]

He was born the last week of April.

He did show his maleness very early on...red comb and crowing. Here is a pic of him about 2 weeks ago. And a pic of the pot he was standing next to. He is just a tad bigger and his comb is darker red and larger. He is a silver duckwing old english game bantam. Very smart and independant breed

Will his babies come out with his nature with any breed of hen?

Hard to say but its worth a shot.
He at least earned a chance to express his fitness, IMO.
Plus hatching chicks under a broody hen is soooo coooool.

Thats one fine looking roo. I wish we could keep one but we are specifically forbidden from having roosters by the city chicken ordinance.

He does have some silkie girlfriends. I hear they are a very broody breed ! ;D

He looks at least 4 months and probably pushing 5.

The older, the better. That would mean the girls I got with him are older too...that much closer to getting some eggs.

What age do bantams normally start to lay?
