this guy was lurking in the woods around our house earlier this week – we would occasionally see and hear him – then came into the yard and has apparently integrated himself with our (previously rooster-less) flock, because he's been sleeping in the coop with them the last three nights

my neighbors don't recognize him and don't have any leads, so I guess now I have a rooster? searching to try to figure out his breed came up with Bantam Golden Sebright, which is apparently relatively fancy.

I lucked out on my original chicken order and got all hens, so I've never had a rooster before. he didn't crow at dawn the first two mornings, but he did today, which was very entertaining! I could see how it could be aggravating, but I've got guinea fowl too ???? he will never top their screaming about breezes and rain.

give me your rooster tips and resources, please? I would love your recommendations, advice, and anecdotes ❤️ thank you!
