Roosters are great. They all have personalities of their own. They like to be picked up and hugged and kissed! They will never admit it though!
Thanks Cher

My sister use to live in Key West where there is alot of cockfighting going on and no matter how many got busted there was always one more to take it's place. On occassion some (roosters) would end up by my sister's place. Many ended up being 'pets', living their lives out safe on her property.
Thanks Cher. Loved the picture on the page. :)
