We have one hen who whenever she sees my wife, comes running for her to pick her up and carry her.

If I had a chicken who did that I would never be able to fry her.

LOL she has several years of laying before she will face the pot.

We keep about 1 rooster for every 8 hens, and my wife and I differ on which ones to keep. She likes the ones that crow, and I look for size, conformation, color, as well as temperament.

I swear, one of the roosters has figured out her criterion - whenever my wife goes out in the yard he crows and crows - you can almost see him reaching down to his toenails and brings up the biggest crow you ever heard. - So, he will be one of the keepers, along with my shoulder supervisor.
