Plus hey, the roos are just beautiful! Those beautiful flowing tails are just wonderful, plus they can have flashier colors. Plus, sniff the pic is gone, but having a 5 y/o carrying around a Jersey Giant roo like a baby with a doll bonnet tied on his head? Yeah right, how can you beat that for cute factor? Said roo has also tolerated such abuse as to be put in doll stollers and pushed around. While wearing a bonnet. And at one point a doll's dress.
Our Jersey Giant, Black Orph, SLW and at least 2, maybe 3, of the white bantam Cochin roos are for breeding first and for most (3rd is a jerk). They do the alarm call for protection, but they do also have a Great Pyr who lives with them in the large run area, so they don't need to protect, but they do as nature wants them to.
The frizzled bantam Cochin roo of some odd color, he has no breeding role (or he's not supposed to! ahem as we have a daughter of his with one of his BR girls, rolling my eyes here), but ok, fine. He's hilarious looking. He's funny to watch. He's just a total doll really. My 6 y/o showed him in Clover Kids (early 4-H here) this last summer, and he was the easiest bird by far to handle in the group, and he was just too stinking cute.
Generally also, our roos are just the nicer of the flock. The ladies are pleasant and nice, but the roos are like puppy dogs following behind you some days, unless they are of the jerk or evil roo status and thus get to join freezer camp. Plus, the buka-buka-buka-buka treat alert is just hilarious to watch the roos find something lovely to eat and proudly announce it to the hens, who stampede over like elephants and gobble up the yummy to leave scraps if anything for the roos. Who happily go off and buka-buka-buka over the next treat...
