I am sorry that I am unable to take him. (Don't worry, folks, I'm making it up to her by giving her a beautiful Ameraucana hen that lays lovely blue eggs). I was hoping to breed him to my cuckoo maran to make some nice dark olive eggers! But due to medical issues, I'm having to cut back my flock size and keep my breedings focused on just one or two projects. It's too bad. He's a lovely blue boy. Here's an old picture, before we knew it was a boy:

To help reduce my flock size, I'll be having a $5 clearance sale of my remaining goslings, Muscovy ducklings, and EE "pullets" (after what happened with howardacres and GailChickie, I have no faith in my ability to tell the gender of any chicken until it crows or lays and egg).
Muffi, thaks for posting the pic---he still looks like that only a bit bigger and his comb has gotten redder too.
Definitely a nice boy, NOT agressive at all, but i can't keep so many roos! Thanks for explaining too---i didn't mean anything in a bad way, i understood your reasons but wasn't sure how much to say.
i just wanted people to know that he was from your stock and you were planning to use him for breeding---so maybe someone else might want to use him.
