That is such a great ad!

My normal Craigslist posts never get any hits. The bizarre ones I post get all kinds of responses. Whatever it takes to rehome the roosters, you know?
Glad y'all enjoyed it. But really, somebody take this rooster. He's gorgeous and gonna be huge. Be a great flock protector or dinner. Either way.

That is way cute. I'm practically sold (except that I have too many already, and I'm becoming nervous about adding outside chickens to my flock - potential diseases and all).

Awesome!

CityGirl, this is off-topic, but I enjoy your blog! Great pics...and I have laughed about the neighbor's bison.

I would love to have him and the girls, but I am in Iowa

Great ad tho!!!

 

[CityGirlintheCountry]

YAY! Nugget and his girls have a new home! A nice local lady emailed me and wants them all. She's already gone to TSC to get her chicken supplies. I'm so pleased they're going to someone excited about chickens!

The fun thing about this ad was that two seperate people emailed me to invite me to BYC. How cool that the word is out there about this site! GO BYC!!!

Oh this is one happy Craiglist I've ever seen! I think it is great creativity you put out!

Congrats in giving them a good home! I hope the lady enjoys them and if you can, invite her to BYC!

Just for fun, this is the last Craigslist ad I wrote. It worked too.

Aggrevated with your neighbors? Let me help you! - $8 (Murfreesboro)


Having problems with neighbors' dogs barking? Do I have a deal for you!

Early riser neighbors who like to cut their grass at 6am on Saturday mornings? No problem!

Perhaps a party crowd that prefers to rock and roll all night long? Payback is sweet, my friend!

Add one of these babies to your household and stand back! Each boy is completely environmentally friendly and is guaranteed to annoy the daylights out of close neighbors. If they are anything like their daddy, the entire block will be able to hear them when they tune up. Daddy has a lovely bass crow and has been known to crow all day long. Usually tunes up around 4am and knocks off about sunset. Needs no batteries!

Other possible uses for these swell boys:
- bug extermination: These guys can eat their body weight in random bugs. Good bugs, bad bugs, doesn't matter. They like them all. They seem especially fond of ticks, which makes me really happy in the summer.

- Compost makers: Boy howdy are they excellent compost makers! You have never seen such compost. And they add to the compost pile daily without stop. Compost, compost, compost! (Some assembly required on the actual compost making. These guys just contribute to the mix. You will need to do some shoveling.)

- Feathers for fly-fishing. Periodically they like to drop all their feathers just for fun. You can expect feathers everywhere just ripe for the picking. These are fabulous if you like to tie fly-fishing lures. Look at the money you will save. You could even start a thriving home business. Have small children? Tiny fingers tie tiny flies!

- Dinner: If you have it in you, they would make a tasty dinner. Full grown they should dress out at 8+ pounds. These guys are hormone free, cage free and free range when they can be supervised. So far they have had a tasty diet of chick feed, scratch, bugs, vegi scraps and fruit. Mmmm... tasty! (They are currently 9 weeks old. You'll need to keep them another couple of months before they are full grown. Disassembly is definitely required. They will come to you kicking and screaming. You are on your own for the killing. If I thought I could do it I wouldn't be selling these fine boys.)

- Security force: Having trouble with strangers in the yard? Add a couple of these delightful yard ornaments and they will scare the willies out of intruders. Nothing more impressive than a cranky rooster coming at you feet first! You could even get one of those little "Beware of Rooster" signs to add a little more emphasis. You would be the talk of the town.

- Make more Chickens! Add a couple of hens and these guys will happily help you start a chicken empire. Seriously, their daddy is worse than a rabbit about making more chickens. If they take after their daddy even remotely you will soon have herds of tiny chickens peeping away.


I'm sure there are many, many other great uses for one of these fabulous roosters. Everyone will be wanting one soon. They are the next "in" thing!

Details:
All three cockerals have a buff orpington father. The two white boys have a silver laced wyandotte mother. The buff has a golden laced wyandotte mother. One of the white boys has a rose comb. The other has a singel comb. The buff has a single comb. All are around 9 weeks old. NONE ARE ANY GOOD FOR FIGHTING!!!! These are pacifist chickens.
