Meet Roast, the urban rooster. He came into our lives more or less by accident as a scrawny, clumsy juvenile. For a long time he was terrified of our adult hens, even once he towered above them!
Living in a suburban area meant we couldn't have him crowing in the early hours, so in his early crowing days the twilight hours were sometimes spent in bed with my daughter to keep him quiet so we wouldn't have to get rid of him.
Thankfully he was never one to crow a lot, so we've developed a routine where he comes in at night and no longer crows in the day (after a bit of training).
He is a clumsy, gentle giant with one small wattle, who takes his flock guardianship seriously. He loves a cuddle and fuss, just not in front of his ladies!
He may not be the likeliest candidate, but this big feather ball has wormed his way into our hearts.
