Good idea!

I agreed with number two, I prefer to talk with someone in the hobby for years, they know things that I didn't even know, I didn't know, lol, you know what I mean? I don't know what a hatch along is? I take pictures to remember them years later, plus I like to look at chickens, I have taken pictures because I thought they were a good specimen but never because I thought they were cute, I don't think that is the same. I don't really care if people dress them up or give them funny names, (it's not my business) those type of people usually are really caring and kind to their animals so I think that's probably the most important part. Mostly I just take this as a joke some guy wrote trying to sound like a crusty old farmer, now I have met quite a few of those over my lifetime lol.

I have to admit that "Roo" irritates me a little, in the same way and for the same reason that ppl riting like this doz. U no who U R. 10 years ago you might have had a character limit in text messages, but not anymore (unless you're a twitterer, in which case I probably don't like you anyway :D ), so there's no excuse but laziness.
I call my roosters cockbirds, and don't feel the need to snigger every time someone makes a Big Black Cock joke, but it happens... especially at daylight savings time when it's time to turn your cocks black.
Balance in all things I say :)

I am guilty of number 6 and 8. No clothes on chickens for me though, clothes on animals I can't take it, sorry.

Mission Accomplished.... Coffee came out my nose..... " Cocks Black"

I LIKE it!
However, I have to admit that I was "this far" from making hen saddles to: a) protect the hens from the rooster's toe nails; and b) possibly prevent sunburn. Because now we have to deal with another hen with an open wound on the top layer of skin before it gets worse and infected.
