Thanks. The first one hatched a day before we thought. We moved her to a nice big box of her own after we found the first one. She has 3 more eggs so we'll see what happens today. I don't know if they are viable or not.
my answer may be in this thread but reading over 800 pages is a bit daunting! I have my first brooding hatch in the process and it hasn't gone so well. Out of the two little ones that have hatched so far one fell out of the nest box and didn't make it and last night another hatched but mom...
Actually we had to many complications on shipping a full grown roo. I'm still trying to find a local home for him. I'm trying to reach a vet that is supposed to have something like a Rooster Rescue at her place. And the local Humane Society has a no kill policy so that is another alternative...
I don't want to send him at the end of the week in case something happens and he gets stuck in a PO some place. So I would figure Monday is when he'd get shipped out so there isn't any chance of that. I'm sure glad things worked out for Jack!

Actually you're doing us a favor. We'll pay for the shipping. Just a heads up on his condition: he has some scabs on his comb which will heal. Also his right eye is injured. Sometimes it is open, most of the time it is closed. It seems to be getting better. It doesn't appear to be infected...
This may sound totally dumb but how in the world would you ship a rooster? I don't think he'd fit in a flat rate box! If someone would tell me then I'd consider it! Where are you located I'm in No. Idaho.
I have to many roos and this boy is getting onery to the others. He is good with us and tolerates the dog, he just wants to be top Roo to the girls and is trying to force the issue. If you're interested please let me know ASAP and we can work the details out. I really don't want to have to...
The hens pretty much look the same. That is the backside of one in the picture! They don't have the pretty green tail feathers but the body is about the same coloring.
