Thanks Shifty! We kept him in the garage tonight, but I was thinking in the morning I should start him out in the run? That way the ladies can get used to his presence without being able to pick on him. We don't use the run most days, as they just free range.

Oh, one other thing. Any tips on incorporating him into our flock if no one claims him? I was at work when they brought him out and Jason put him right in the yard with the girls. They didn't pay any attention to him for about 15 minutes and he seemed to be enjoying himself. Then, for...

Thank you all! I think he's such a handsome fella. He really seemed to enjoy being held and especially liked getting his head and comb rubbed. Like I said, we will post a flyer and an ad just to see if he's got a family that's missing such a friendly rooster. If not, we will be happy to have...

Thanks Kentuckysilkies! He is buff colored though, does that make a difference? The pics were taken with just the light from the heat lamp inside the dog house we have him in in the garage. His head and rear look just like our Buff Orps, just those pretty wings.

My DH is a Zone Manager at our local Wal-Mart. He's been on vacation this week and was pretty surprised when he saw the store number come up on the caller id. He was even more surprised when the HR Manager on the other end asked him "Jason, would you like a rooster?" They'd just rescued a...

I have what might be a silly question. We have a relatively small backyard flock. Two SLW, 1 BR, 6 BO, 4 EE's, and 4 Aussies. Everyone but the Aussies (purchased from a local egg seller going out of business) were born Spring 2009. None appear to be marked much different than the others in...

Thanks Chicago! Sorry to be misleading but the wheezing sound was actually coming from her bottom. Like there was air passing by something. She also acted several times like she had to lay or poo and would strain without results. She is pooing, but maybe there's an egg in there somewhere...

One of our favorite EE's, Hawkeye, is sick and I'm not exactly sure what is wrong or what to do. Three days ago, some of the other girls were pecking at her and we noticed her bottom was quite red, a little bloody, and a little pasty. When I looked closer, it appeared to be pretty swollen...

Also, I just did the warm bath thing. She seemed to really appreciate it. But I was afraid to use soap, so it was just warm water.

I was looking on the forum because one of our EE's Hawkeye is going through something fairly traumatic (more to me than to her I think). When I read this, it sounds very similar to what is going on with her. I'm going to create my own post and see if I get any info that will help either of us...

What a wonderfully touching story. Thank you for sharing and what a beautifully little chick "she" is.

The look like ours did when they first started feathering. More black then white and laced. They should turn out fine. Here is one of ours now...born first week of April.

Thank you so much for sharing! Beautiful flock you have, I especially love your blue's.

Andrew is so excited! He can't wait to go take more. Thank you all for your comments and for looking.

Sorry for the delay in responding. Thank you all for your comments. Andrew is so excited, I think that's what we're going to get him for his b-day in Sept. is a camera of his own. I was amazed by his pics. Li'l Mama is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. She and her sister Big Mama (original I know)...

Awwww! They are so pretty. Romeo is gorgeous, how's his temperment? We had a BR roo Maynard who was sooo mean. He would go after the kids heads whenever they got anywhere near the coop. What an awesome flock you have. Great pics, thank you for sharing.

Beautiful babies! Thanks for sharing with us.

Wow...too bad you're so far down, or we would take him. We just can't get down there for a pick up anytime soon. Not aware of any "shelters" but we have a wildlife rescue here in Cheboygan that may take him. She keeps ducks of her own in addition to rehab-ing wildlife. I think the website...

Soo cute!! Thanks for sharing.
