    Stray rooster needs a home, NE Ohio

    This handsome Rhode Island Red has been living at our cabin since July. I'd love to adopt him but live in the city and can't have a rooster. He's shy but not aggressive, and must be pretty clever surviving in the woods for this long. I'm willing to deliver him anywhere in mid/northeast Ohio...

    Rhode Island Red Rooster crossed back with sex-link hen??
