I have always wanted a rooster for our flock of Hens and have had several chicks that turned out as Roosters. I raised them until they crowed and then gave them away. I am allowed them here but I did not want to make waves with my neighbors so I did the neighborly thing and re-homed them. Over time one neighbor got chickens also, and another one behind me got a flock of Ducks, hens and 2 Roosters!. Let me Tell you Ducks make Roosters seem quiet! Another guy has quads that they use between their house and ours in the woods. I realized , I don't think these guys will care, and if they did, well I'd deal with it then. I'M getting a Rooster! So I started looking for a Rooster. Craigslist always has some in my area. I found one that another family had but couldn't keep... he was just startng to crow. He is a Mutt, Easter Egger Rooster of Ameraucana descent from what the owners knew which is good as some of my Hens are Easter Eggers. I've had him a few weeks now and he has settled in as the "king" .
Anyhow, We don't usually name our chickens aside from a few that have been with us Years, but I decided to name the new guy in the flock. Had to be the right Name...
Meet ELVIS.
