Okay, I am going to try posting here about my problem.
Does anyone want a rooster and a hen? They are both 10 month old Amber sex links. The hen layed 27 eggs last month (31 days).
I will be totally honest here. These birds were hand raised just like the rest of our flock, but they did not turn out the same. They are both flighty and avoid ANY human contact. The exception to that came when our broody hen hatched out my new babies. The rooster has been fiercely protecting them and has attacked me, my daughter, and my husband. He had me in a struggle that lasted several minutes the other day. I couldn't get away from him and was beating him with a metal pan.
I was planning on butchering him, so I put him in a cage. Since then, the hen has been so freaked out and weird that I wonder if I should keep them together and try to find them a home.
Their names are General Cotton and Candy. They are pretty birds (although a hen has been picking at Candy and she has a bare spot on her back. I put a saddle on her but she ripped it off). The rooster is a fierce protector and the hen is an excellent layer. We just don't want them anymore.
I will sell them both cheap! Maybe on trade?
PM me if interested.
