Here is my son, and his rooster, Outlaw. We got 6 baby chicks in April, and 4 of them turned out to be roosters! We were assured that at least 3 of the 4 were females too! I like this picture, thinking of sending it in to Country magazine, or maybe another one that is like it, where the rooster falls asleep on his chest! Since all of these roosters were not very kind to my four year old daughter, and she began to fear for her life anytime she was near the chicken coop, we have now found homes for all but one of the roosters. Outlaw, pictured above,  now resides at my sons best friends house, where he quickly killed one of his new chicks. We still have one rooster, a yellow Auracana, who has yet to display any agressive behaviors towards us, and I picked up a new chicken at the nearby feed and seed store yesterday, who will join the flock when she gets a bit bigger. One of the roosters we got rid of was a feather footed banty. I really liked him, even though he attacked and pecked my daughter and I. We started to let him wander the yard, and every day, he would come up on the porch, and make himself comfortable. My new baby hen is also a feather footed banty, and I hope she is just as tame. Well, I am going to post this now, then come back later with more pictures!

Bye!!!

Ha! I bet he would get along well with my one daughter. She loves her chickens. This last winter I found her bundled up in the coop, dancing with one of her chickens on her head! She somehow has an amazing ability to tell me by name just what chicken layed what egg just by the way it looks. LOL
