Is he still available? We have a flock of 9 (soon to be 12) hens that we consider pets and are loved dearly. Was he raised in a multigenerational flock? Does he have manners?(meaning is he gonna bully the girls or respect them). I’m in Florida!
I thought a brahma rooster would make us have brahma babies because we have brahmas and are looking to get more. Somehow I never knew until recently that chickens can cross breed.

There’s nothing we can really do about it. They’ve always lived here and there are quite literally thousands of them that nest in nearby tree’s. They used to attack us whenever I would go into our big coop since they have a nest in the bamboo, quite literally dive bombing me anytime I got...
