I like mine. His name is just kinda "rooster" he's a RIR, hatched about April10th of this year so almost 6 months old.
The dog used to chase him around a bit, playing with him (she thought) until one day he figured out that he could corner her up on the deck and she would turn into a big ole chicken and whine for mommy to come rescue her!
Otherwise he's protective of his ladies without attacking me, shares the treats and calls them to food, treats them pretty gently, and generally takes care of the pullets.
