I have a lovely little Mille de Fleur roo that needs a home NOW! I am gonna get into HOA trouble and all I want for him is a good home. Let me know if you or anyone you know might give him a loving home.

Having to rehome a bantam roo who I was so hoping this morning that I was hearing the neighbors roo. But, alas I was wrong. Will post a picture. But looking in Colorado area I can take him to for a new home. He's a pretty guy.

This is a roo! Was hoping I was wrong till this early am. Needs to be in a place they allow roos.

Looking to re Home a few of my birds. They have become old enough to tell what
sex they are. White Amerucana is ready to go pullet. Have this bantam that would do well with a smaller size flock..

Hi, We live in Arvada. Not too far..

Hey everyone. I have a 12 week old Ameraucana rooster (cockerel) that's in need of a new home. We're allowed to have hens but no roosters, as is common. We didn't mean to buy a rooster, but we knew it was a crapshoot whether we'd actually get a pullet. We've raised him from a little guy and he's just now showing off his rooster skills. He's pretty great, and we're sad to have to re-home him.

We live in Littleton, and we'd be willing to travel a good distance to find some place to keep him.

Does anyone know of any rescues?

We'd prefer re-homing the bird in a place that would allow him to live out his natural life, so we'd like to be sure he won't be fought or eaten. My wife and I have always raised our chickens as pets, so it's hard to imagine a chicken we raised would be mistreated. Eating chickens I understand, but not fighting them or putting them in terrible living situations.

I know it's tough to find a place. They're chickens, after all. Millions of them die every day to feed people. Why should this one be any different? We know it's kind of a long shot, but we want to try.

Alternatively, does anyone here want to take him in? If so, here's a bit more about him:

I can't say anything about his breeding, but I can guarantee that we've taken good care of all our chickens, this one included. We've never had a problem with diseases or mites and other parasites (knock on wood). The only death we've had was due to an animal attack -- she was otherwise perfectly healthy. He's never been fed hormones or antibiotics -- only good feed, vegetables, worms, and some supplements. He's completely healthy.

He's pretty docile, and he's very comfortable with humans -- we handled the little ones a lot and spent a bunch of time with them when they were younger.

I'd be willing to drive a pretty good distance to drop him off. Also, I know this isn't enough for the lifetime of the bird, but I'll buy a 50lb bag of grower feed for him.

Here are some pictures. He's a pretty one, too.

Hello from (hopefully) the Denver area!

My husband and I are looking for a free-standing rural rental home/farm in the vicinity of Denver/Littleton. My husband is an aerospace engineer who just got his dream job in the Denver area. I work in animal science. We are also homesteaders.

If any of you good folks knows of a place that would accept a dog, cats, ducks, and geese and has room for a large garden, would you drop me a line?

A little bit more about us:

--We have excellent credit and excellent references
--We do not smoke
--We garden like crazy, and would be more than happy to share produce (and eggs) with our landlord
--We also make chocolate, and would be happy to share that, too
Thank you so much!
