This pretty guy showed up on our property about three days ago. We finally caught him today and put him in a cage with plenty of food and water. The only thing we can come up with is that someone must have seen our birds free ranging and dumped him off, as we made sure he didn't belong to our neighbors, who also have a flock. It actually kind of ticks me off, not because we have him (I'm glad we do now), but because there are other ways unwanted birds can be used. Dumping them off to fend for themselves or making them somebody else's "problem" is not one of them. He's obviously been roosting outside. We are currently treating his frost-bitten comb and wattles. I'm just glad we caught him before our roos did! Anyway, I have four CL hens but have not had the opportunity to own a roo. He looks strikingly similar to some of the pictures we've seen. However, he has red earlobes. I'm starting to think he may be a mix. Thoughts?
