Is this a cream legbar or was I dooped?

Well, the OP picked the chick, so someone else might see him & feel the same way. I didn't want a rooster either, I ordered all pullets, but the hatcheries can make mistakes. If I had received a rooster, he'd have been down the highway. Circle of life. My neighbors don't want to hear roosters, & I have 3 year old twin grandsons. I don't want a rooster around them. All the OP wanted to know was her chick a rooster? She didn't need to be made to feel guilty or bad for not wanting a rooster. Now she doesn't feel free to come on BYC & ask questions

Where did the posts go?

I think that he should be let to live if he is acting like he still wants to live. With the expression on his face in these pictures, I would say he seems like he is doing all right.

I completely agree its just really hard to ignore something so obviously wrong...

I understand what your motive was; you were concerned about the chick's quality of life. Expressing your opinion is fine, but if the OP seems unappreciative of your posts, maybe it is best not to continue posting.

HA i agree... thats why I apologized...

OP cannot keep a cockerel; not many people can, as they live in cities with ordinances against roosters. She shouldn't be blamed for not wanting to keep it, or "throwing it away," because its a decision she has to make. As long as the rooster goes to a good home, its completely acceptable. Its a shame that roosters are unwanted, but I guess thats how life works.

Anyways, people apologized and all is forgiven (I hope) so I think we can all move on.

I think some of you are getting way off topic. This was a thread meant to find out if the chick was a certain breed, which was accomplished. There is absolutely no reason for any of you to make her feel bad for rehoming this chick.

Some of you are being a bit ridiculous in the assumptions you are making about this chicks future. Never did the OP say he was going to be killed and rehoming him doesn't mean a death sentence. And even if he was going to be culled its not your business, he is a chicken, and not yours.

I don't mean to sound fresh, I don't often post comments that don't relate to the threads purpose, but I feel the OP is being a little bit ganged up on unnecessarily.

People keep it friendly and @Wyleiria don't let these very few people here ruin your experience here on BYC, it really is a wonderful place with fantastic, friendly and such helpful people. Im sorry these few people gave you such a negative experience.

Im sure this thread will be locked if this keeps up so this will be my last post on this thread.
