We have a rooster!
We are so surprised. The 20 hens are Amerucana, and have yet to lay their theoretically lovely (and delicious) blue green eggs. But the bonus chicken (Murray McMurray Hatchery sends a bonus chicken with each order) turns out to be a Silver Spangled Hamburg rooster. He makes the loudest cock-a-doodle-dos. But I rarely let them out before 7 am, so none of the neighbors have complained thus far. I am hoping that the hens will lay before the neighbors complain (it's a race!) so that I might buy them off with the pretty eggs. He really is a lovely rooster. Kind of patriotic looking. Spangled is a good name for him.
