If you’re looking for a regal rooster Professor Sprout and Esmeraldo are your guys! They were both born last year. We tried to embrace having roosters but, they are not getting along with each other in a flock of 22 hens. Ideally they would need their own flock or a very large flock to be in together. Both do well around people and dogs. Both have been raised on an organic diet and are cold hardy-they both endured this last winter very well without any supplemental heat source.
