I have 3 roos looking for good homes/flocks of their own. If you are interested or would like to come check them out, please PM me and we can work out the details. The BCM is just about 6 months, the red mix is over 1 year, and the Icelandic is about 4 months but crowing!

Over the weekend coyotes (I think) attacked my smaller flock and killed two out of 5 birds. My OE roo was seriously injured. He has a hole in his neck/crop! When he drinks water it actually comes out his throat. I have called several vets in the area an no one tends to chickens. I would hate to...
