    Beautiful, non-aggressive RIR Rooster - 4 months old

    Hi everyone! I have a RIR rooster who needs to find a new home. We would keep him, only he isn't allowed in the city and he just started crowing. Too bad too because he is really pretty! His blue/green/black tail feathers are coming in nicely...he's been fed either non-gmo or organic starter...

    bedding for chicks

    We started off with pine, but everyone in the house started coughing and having trouble breathing(our brooder is the unused bathtub in the bathroom off the master bedroom). We switched to Aspen and haven't had any problems since. Take from that what you will. ;)
