Great little guy, hatched him myself, well with a little help, on 10-7-2008-------he is a kind fellow, but my neighbors are getting a little impatient.
Will consider anything in trade.
We love him, we really do!!! Gentle, kind to the girls, but to loud for our tiny little space.
Is anyone interested?
Willing to trade...let me know.

I am in MA too, and my coop is not insulated. I do two things during the winter.

I had to DELETE my facebook account because of that game. I was getting up in the morning and "harvesting my crops" instead of taking care of my own FARM!
He really is a great little guy....very timid and nice, but OMG!!! some mornings he is out of control. I guess I just wish what it was that made him so inconsistent.
I actually had my broodie silkies hatch 7 silkie eggs and out of the seven that hatch he was my only roo, so I really cannot...
My silkie roo crowed 30 times in a row starting at 5am this morning. I don't mind his roo ways, he is sweet, and good to the girls but, COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 30 times in a row and those are ones I counted.
