Araucana thread anyone?

[Frazzemrat1]

@Frazzemrat1 are your neighbors close? Maybe talk to them to see if they saw or heard anything unusual? Even if they don't 'fess up maybe you'll at least get a vibe if they were anti-rooster. I would have a hard time letting this go. My heart breaks for you.

I do have neighbor's that are close, which is why I said I've had no complaints about his crowing (which is only a morning thing). I honestly don't know my neighbors. I've only ever heard the one closest to my coop, screaming at his son in their shop. I'm not really inclined to go over there.
I don't want to let this go, and really and truly hope I'm wrong and that he's just somehow gotten out and he's around somewhere, and has survived the temps we've had by himself and miraculously comes home without a scratch. It could happen. It won't... but...
He's been the sweetest to the girls, so tolerant of my dog trying to eat what they eat, my daughter holding the ladies... Not one human or canine aggressive move at all, and I feel like I'm never gonna get that good again.

Where you live are you even allowed to keep roosters?

Yes.... I live in a farm town in Ct. In fact, both towns I have to pay taxes to (my land straddles the town line) are both farm towns.

Well that is annoying that you have to pay taxes to both towns.

yea, its based upon how much land and any structures on that portion of the property.

With another Araucana... you will. Not saying Napolean is replaceable, but I have yet to come across or even hear about an aggressive Araucana.
I too hope he comes home unscathed. Please let us know if he does.

@Frazzemrat1 any word on Napoleon?

@Trish1974 did the lady ever come to get the cockerel you had for sale?

No, she did not. I didn't pursue it, either. I was having second thoughts about selling him, but now think I really should since he won't have a mate when I make my breeding pens. I hate to see him all by himself.
