Hi thank you so much for the insight! Thinking about it as harvesting makes much more sense, I appreciate the perspective :)
Hopefully we are able to find him a home nearby in Seattle!
We've been asking around and thinking about calling the farm we got him from to see if they would take him back, but no luck so far. Will be sad to see him go and don't want to give him away if it's going to be for slaughter.
Thanks! He is very pretty and we were hoping he'd be a hen but after hearing the crowing and seeing development it's just not the case. Would love to keep him but not allowed to have roosters in the city ):
Got this chicken from a local farm as a 3-day old barred rock hen, but based on comments it looks like they're mixed breed and a rooster? Anybody have any ideas as to which breeds this olive egger might be from?
