Crèvecœur Cockerel to Rehome

[CreveChris]

Y'all may know Michele Cockerel. He's my earliest-maturing, largest 4.5 mo. Crèvecœur, an endangered breed on the Livestock Conservancy critical list. Out of my 3 cockerels raised to breed, he is the one I'm rehoming. He's an ultra exotic bird, but I'll give consideration because I want him to go to a good home.

Gentle by nature, he has been know to pinch on occasion because he's more high-strung than the others. That said, he is personable and submissive to humans. He likes containment per his breed and conforms well for breeding stock, but his comb seems to have an extra horn, which may or may not resolve as he matures over the next few months.

I've hand-raised him from a day-old chick from Greenfire Farms, a hatchery of fine international repute. Crèvecœurs are gentle and gorgeous with fine bones and word-class meat. If you're a breeder or hobbyist near St. Augustine, Contact me to find out more.

Ohhhh, that’s a temptation. I think these Crevecoeurs are the finest birds. We included two females in our little flock because they are curious in appearance and on the endangered list. Not that we’re helping so much, we did not get a rooster.

Now that I’ve spent almost 6 months with the females, I understand how someone might want to be involved in restoring this breed. They are undoubtedly among the brightest, most curious and confident breeds out there. Of the 6 breeds that make up our group, these are the most personable and pet natured. I do truly love them. Good luck finding him the home of his dreams

i agree! They are the sweetest. The males crow to get my attention about a visitor or for treats. They stop when I tell them to, also. My Crèvecœurs would be great to spend the entire day with, so friendly and with delightful personalities. I still pick them up as if they're chicks, by holding out my hand. They push their chests out and sort of hop into my palm as I call their names.
