I am so jealous! What a beautiful bird. I want to get some chickens so bad, but not even sure where to start, or how to prevent them from getting eaten by dogs or various critters.

What a nice rooster. He seems to be in a Rose of Sharon patch. What is that peeping out of the barn at us?

Hubby was looking over my shoulder when I pulled up the pic of your pretty boy and he said "that's a good looking *male chicken--insert alternate word here* they've got there".

Cool Near Paducah?

What county are you in? My mother was born in Crittenden - my dad was born in Caldwell and I was born in Union. Grandmother was born in Livingston - a Smith from all places - Smithland! Zillions of relatives in Western Kentucky.

Umm, I think you can use the word cock when referring to a male chicken...

Really? I mean, just talking about chickens??? Or was it an innuendo thing? I would have never guessed that anyone on a homesteading site would be offeded by using the common term for a male rooster...

here's two of our roosters
the first one is King James (definitely "in charge")
the second one is "Handsome"

Yes it is a RIR. Our other rooster is much prettier, he's a Silver Pencil Wynadotte. His name is Ed.
I have pics of him, too. There's one one the poultry board. He has a much better personality than the RIRs.
