Reposting with corrected information….. We previously posted that Pop Rock was carrying a frizzle gene but, a fellow BYCer explained the frizzle gene and how without the trait he cannot carry a recessive for frizzling. Just wanted to correct our goof. He’s still available if anybody is interested. We also have a Self Blue D’Uccle cockerel available.

Hello everybody! We are still trying to find a home for a few bantam cockerels that we ended up with in a group of straight run chicks purchased from Concord Feed in mid March. We posted awhile back about our situation and have been successful finding 3/8 homes between this site and Craigslist. We actually ended up with 8/10 of the straight run chicks being male. We’ve certainly learned our lesson and will resist getting the adorable little fuzzies in the future. We live within the SJ city limits and 5 crowing roosters definitely isn’t going to work. We are having a little bit of success with rooster collars but, finding homes for some of them will really help. This Bantam Blue Cochin has a bit louder and more frequent crow. It would be ideal to find him a home first. Pop Rock is a Blue Bantam Cochin and was purchased from Concord Feed in Dublin, CA on March 18th. He has received the Marek’s vaccine and has been fed organic starter/grower, fresh garden veggies, and fruit. He really loves his crumbles mixed with warm water. Somehow, that’s his favorite treat. He makes really cute excited sounds while eating such a luxury. If you live in Northern CA and would be willing to add Pop Rock to your flock please feel free to contact us. We would be willing to deliver him to you if needed.

That's awesome, congratulations. Just a heads up, if your in an area with chicken regulations understand what they are. And consider buying pullets instead of chicks so you can avoid all this.

Rehoming take a long while to accomplish sometimes.

Are there any chicken people in California working with barbu d'anvers or barbu de watermael?

You can do fairly well buy buying pullets from a feed store as chicks.

Sadly the workers sometimes mix the bins though. Ordering pullets from a hatchery and having them shipped to you should be over 95% Correct though.

I totally agree. I never knew how difficult it can be to rehome a rooster. The first three found new homes right away. Actually, the white crested Polish found a home within an hour of my posting him on BYC. I guess it was just lucky timing. These most recent three took a bit longer than I realized it could take. I really shouldn’t have fallen for the cute little fuzzies. They were extremely loved and well cared for while we had them and I think they have all gotten wonderful homes. If we ever get more, we’ll definitely try and buy pullets. Do you know where in Northern CA we might be able to find bantam pullets? If both of the Silkies we have left turn out to be Roos, our only Bantam Cochin hen will be alone.

Put a thread that your looking for bantam pullets in the "buy sell trade" section, chickens 8 weeks and older column and Craigslist.

Specify what bantam breed your looking for also.
