Some of you have already heard about this guy. I had to fight him off to get a shot of the Ducklings. He's a little aggressive, kept that one foot off the ground quite a bit. I suspect he's showing off for The Hens.

The ultimate chicken. No hen shall go unserviced, that is my

policy. I alone am the prime minister of the henhouse. No chicken

wire can contain me. I am to be feared!

Nice coloring on this One, Marsha! He does Look to Have an Attitude, though... and You've done a Great job in Capturing his Spirit!

At first I thought this was a picture of my dear ol' auntie who lives deep in the Himalayan Mountains but then I realized it was actually a rooster, so then I relaxed and everything is okay now.

A little exposure problem around the head!..that would be the light from the window!...

A story is at one time I used a garage to fill up often..and every time I went...this 'Bantam' cockerel always used to attack me..like a dog savaging my ankles!...I got wary, and used to peek all around before getting out the car...but the wee Bugger used to hide 'under' the car and nip as I stepped out!....I was glad to say after a few more days....It was someones 'Sunday Lunch'!!!....

---He's a little aggressive---

That's its instinct, Marsha. I wouldn't call it 'aggresive' but 'high protective' for its territory (and its harem, lol, of course).

I don't see the exposure problem as mentioned by Owd Bob above.

Thanks for this very nice capture.

Regards, Cornelius.

That stance with one foot raised is his Taekwondo pose. When two cocks fight there is no referee, no rules! Nice close-up of the rooster Marsha.

Very majestic, Marsha. A relatively minor crop from the left border to a point halfway between the two nails of the board (upper left corner).
It decentralizes the subject and increases impact.
You'll also notice it eliminates the minor distraction of the jumble of joints in the wood in that upper corner.

Pretty handsome fellow and probably knows how to strut his stuff. It might be just a little out of focus, course it could be just me.

Oh my. My grandma would love this picture. My great grandpa had owned the 3rd largest poultry farm in Michigan back then. So she has an appreciation for them.
