California - Northern

Hi.

I'm going to try to rehome Picotee, my Sebright rooster. He's become aggressive towards me (and only me), and it's interfering with my ability to care for my hens.

He's 2 years old, never been sick or injured. He's very good to his hens (although he doesn't get along with my Barred Rock) and does a great job alerting the flock to hawks (and robins and finches and airplanes and falling leaves). I think he'd do much better in someone else's flock.

Also, I will gladly provide the feed of your choice for him for the remainder of his life.

Also, if you know of sanctuaries that will take him, please let me know. I'm in Nevada County, CA.

I would never take an aggressive male. In my opinion, it’s not a good idea to try to rehome one either. Some people don’t know what “aggressive” means until they get a taste of it themselves. Not only that, but now I wouldn’t want to propagate his genes either.

Obviously, these are just my rules for my flock. I am not targeting you, it’s just something I follow myself. All aggressive males, once in my flock, stay for their entire life…and until death. I don’t like to let genes or behaviors like that get out.

Obviously, you did a good job by mentioning it. I just hope that whoever takes him knows what they are getting themselves into. Good luck rehoming :)

Never really thought about it that way. You raise very good points, and I have to say I agree with you entirely.

I had several people offer, but I think I'm going to keep him and make 2 flocks in separate areas of my property. NOT ideal at all, but I gotta do what I gotta do.

It is with heavy heart that I have to type this... but I have to move away soon, and where I'm going doesn't permit having pets. I am so devastated but I have no other choice. Is there anyone who wants to adopt 3 female pekins and 1 muscovy male? I am willing to make the commute. Please help

You might have better luck posting in the Southern California thread. You are a good 7 hour drive from me.

I am so sorry.....
 
Nevada county isn’t far from me, do you remember the names?
Dr. Jackson @ Animal Medical Center, which I just realized is in Auburn (Placer County). He is not an avian specialist, but he works closely with UC Davis and can get all the meds and info needed easily.

I can't remember the vet's name, but she's at Brunswick Veterinary in Grass Valley.
