We responded to a craigslist add for free bantam roosters. We love having a bantam hen or two because they are so broody and will hatch our heavier breed's eggs. Right now we only have one hen, no rooster, so we wanted a few more and this was the cheapest, easiest way! Hopefully next year we can have a few hens raising chicks at a time!
Anyway, when we got their, she had 3 roosters. We picked one out but before we left she looked at his comb. She said, "Oh good, no frostbite. It can affect their fertility." I've never heard of such a thing, have you??
