We ended up with a rooster among our new flock of hens. We cannot keep him because of the zoning laws where we live. He is a big boy! He's about 15 weeks old and has a good temperament. We purchased him as a baby chick from Burns Feed Store in Boring. We call him "Joker" and he knows his name. Free to anyone who can meet us in the Damascus/Clackamas area.
