Anyone in the Douglasville (W Atlanta) area have a rooster they're looking to rehome? Ours was killed by a neighbor's pit bull. :( (He was such a good boy, too - great with people and so protective of his girls, he managed to keep all of them safe even when he lost his life.)

Location?

We're in Douglasville & would be interested in her if it's not too far away. We had a flock of 6 all born in June but have lost 2 girls so we're looking for more.

What about this one? Also 11-weeks-old.

Is this a pea comb? It doesn't look like any of the pictures to me, but I think that's the closest? This is an 11-week-old chicken if that makes a difference.

She is gorgeous!! She & Coo definitely look related - the same brown & gray, just arranged differently. It's such a pretty combination! And I'm glad she's calmed down. :) And we're really hoping Blondie is a girl, but we decided he/she will be sticking around either way until there are...

11-week-old update pics: Coo still hates being chased but actually likes being held once she's been caught. I still think her coloring is just gorgeous. 😍 Blondie is probably a boy, but is much nicer to the girls than our cockerel Sue. He/she is not a fan of being held, but manged to be still...

I'm pretty sure that means it has to be in a cage inside your house (like you'd keep a small bird) - I doubt you could convince them that a coop counts. I know it's hard letting them go, but hopefully they'll all have good homes in more homestead-friendly nearby towns. :hugs If you do manage to...

Yeah, I'm hoping she just has a big comb. It doesn't look as red in person as in pictures, so that's hopeful. And the farm we got them from also has a petting zoo, & the chickens are within sight, so if he's a boy & goes back there, I can go get pics sometime. :)

If Blondie does turn out to be a boy, we'll try to rehome him. There's no way we can keep 2 roosters with 3 hens, & so far Sue is a great rooster (he's not aggressive to us & herds the girls well without being overly aggressive with them either). I'll either sell him or just see if the farm we...

I'm new to chickens, so I have no idea. But he's beautiful!

Our flock is 10 weeks old now (as of tomorrow) - Blondie seems to be staying pure white and might be a roo, but I'm sure Coo is a pullet. I'm not completely sure if she's considered laced or barred? But she's so pretty, and not at all what I was expecting color-wise.

Are you sure we aren't twins? ;) I'd love to see your pics!

She's always looked similar to Cleo (our Welsummer) so that makes sense. I just couldn't figure out the brown/gray coloring. I looked up "blue red laced" and they're so pretty! I originally wanted a Wyandotte, but the local breeder doesn't have them. So I guess Coo is my almost-Wyandotte. LOL

You mentioned Blondie is possibly a Snowball EE - are the roos in demand, too? We can't keep 2 boys with only 3 girls & Sue's too pretty to give up unless he starts getting aggressive. Coo was sold as an EE, so that's perfect. I can't wait to see her final coloring, and her eggs!
