Looking for a good home for my 7.5 month old Dark Brahma rooster ASAP. He's a very sweet boy who has been socialized a lot from a young age. Easy to handle, likes being pet, and is good with his hens. Unfortunately can't keep him where I'm at. Located in Hamden, CT.

Yeah, it is frustrating that people are still calling EEs Ameraucanas. There are a few Ameraucana breeders in CT though. Syman Says Farm in Salem, CT has Lavender Ameraucanas.:love

As part of a 4-H project, I have six roosters to re-home; three are Cream Legbars ($10 each), and the rest are mixed breed cockerels (free).
