Cock O' the Walk

This is a photo of my sister's rooster, he now has a harem of five hens. Yes, he has a really red comb, I did not saturate the photo, it did not need it. He thinks he is "all that", the ruler of the roost and yard. He will try to spur you, so I could not get closer to him. You may be able to see one of the spurs on his left foot. He is quite handsome even if he has a mean personality
Thank you for viewing and commenting. Thank you for all the comments and favs on my butterfly shot.

I'm glad you were able to zoom in on him as you are the same level as he is and he sounds territorial! Great picture of this splendid bird!

He is one very "Cocky" dude - he just loves himself doesn't he - no wonder the hens love him :)

He doesn't look too pleased to see you so it was a smart move not to get too close. Good shot!

@olivetreeann He wasn't pleased to see me. Maybe that is why his comb is so red, maybe it is red with anger!

I had a friend who raised chickens for a long time before she and her husband went into missions. One time when I was visiting and commented on one of her handsome roosters she told me his days were numbered. It seems he'd gone after her one too many times and she decided he was too nasty to keep. "Next week, he's dinner!" she said to me.

A five hen harem...that's got to make any male proud! LOL Awesome comb he has going on...probably the reason the hens are attracted to this handsome cock! LOL
