Little Bo Boop Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Here is Pablo from this morning ;-) up on top of the coop and just a crowin' ;-) HE's getting quite handsome. Now my question, in this close-up of his face, it looks like he's got feathers coming in, will his entire face be feathered when he matures? Oh and I have to say, he's quite a nice fellow ;-) not mean at all, and likes to follow me around :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I don't think his whole face will get feathered. I love his iridescent blue. As for the nice and following you around thing, just think ram lambs vs. rams! (Actually none of the roos I have now ever even thinks about bothering me. The only problem roos I've had in the past were the one OEG bantam and the velociraptors. As a game bird he might be a little more aggressive than the average roo, but only time will tell.)

Little Bo Boop Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 So all that stubble is just 5 o'clock shadow? ;-) I know, the blue is just gorgeous, I need to get a pic of his back side, the saddle? it is a beautiful color, not even sure what to call it, but it's pretty. LOL you know I was thinking just that this morning, as I was walking back to the house, he was behind me, and I was thinking to myself, I wonder if roosters will try to mount a rear attack LOL I did tell him if he ever tried to flog me, I'd turn him into a pair of boots :-) I think I will keep my eye on him though....

juliepoudrier Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 For the record, the little suckers usually do attack from behind! J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Fosher Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Not much meat on him yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bo Boop Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 LOL Bill, I don't think they get very meaty, and I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna eat him! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Not the meat kind, Bill! Four months would be neck-stretchin' time, a bit past I think really - Julie would know better. Not that I'm currently into stretching chicken necks for food. We now have two kinda-vegetarians in the house - poor hubby is off most meat! Pablo and brethren, rejoice! We are a Rooster Safe Zone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Fosher Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Well, in my world a little meat is better than a live rooster. My batch of 100 meat birds (all cockerels -- seemed like a good idea at the time) is starting to crow. It's like they swallowed kazoos. July 17 can't get here fast enough.
