Just dropping a note to my fellow NC peeps that I'm looking for a happy home for my Buff Orpington Rooster.
Here's the post I placed in the Re-homing forum...
My husband and I decided we wanted to try our hand with a backyard flock and of course my favorite little chick grew into a rooster. I...
I just looked around the internet for an idea of how people do it. Seems like its a bit costly with the packaging and shipping costs, not sure if the weather is cool enough too. I'll look into it more, but as of right now I don't feel confident in shipping him. Let me know if you find anything...
My husband and I decided we wanted to try our hand with a backyard flock and of course my favorite little chick grew into a rooster. I had a hard time parting with him so I raised him as long as I could, but it's now time for him to spread his wings and find his forever home.

Thanks for the heads up. She is a sweet dog, but I've heard many horror stories as well and I'll definitely be airing on the overly cautious side. I'm so concerned about something getting to them that we've researched all the ways to secure their coop and I'm still afraid to leave them outside...
Hi, my name is Drea and my husband and I recently decided to go chicken! It was something I always had an interest in, but found it hard to do living the city life in San Diego. Well, now we have found ourselves living in rural Cameron, North Carolina and ready to embrace the country lifestyle...
