Ameraucana cockerel in Iowa

[Callender Girl]

Misidentified as a female chick at the hatchery on July 1, 2024, Moses is a beautiful boy. But I already have a rooster and didn't want or need a second one. Also, he has recently discovered that he is a virile male and is driving his pullets (and me!) crazy.

His current home is near Fort Dodge and I would be willing to drive him some distance just so the girls and I can get some rest from his antics. Moses recently proved himself to be great at sounding the alarm when a large bird of prey flew over the coop.

Everyone has roosters over this way, hope you find him a place.

I need a rooster but you are 9 hours north of me. How about a picture?

I'll see what I can do. Posting responses on BYC is about the upper extent of my technological skills. But, I'll try to post a photo later today.

I tried, but I have a very inexpensive, pre-paid phone, and it keeps telling me it "does not have enough memory to complete the operation." Sorry.

No worries. Thanks for trying.

Hi is he Ameraucana or americana/Easter egger? Have a picture?

 

[Callender Girl]

Moses is a Murray McMurray Ameraucana. The other Ameraucana chick I got at the same time has begun laying beautiful blue eggs.

I have photos on my phone, but it is a cheap, pre-paid and tells me that it doesn't have enough memory to allow me to send a photo.
I am hoping to change all that in the near future.

I just saw the conversation where you asked about his comb. It's disappointing because he suffered a bit of frostbite and lost some of the points. Otherwise, he's a beauty.
