"Poppycock" was hatched mid-April, is mostly black, with that gorgeous green "beetle" sheen, with white speckling on wings. Slate legs, red earlobes. He was one of 3/day-old chicks from the local farmer supply (They advertise "Araucana", but I know enough to know he's not. He has muff/beard and a lovely tail). He started crowing (or trying to) at about 7 weeks, much to my chagrin. I so wish I could keep him, but we have a small flock of EE/Ameraucana's with a 3 year old rooster. We thought we had a home for him up the street, but that didn't work out... Poppy has blossomed into a very flashy young 'roo. He has a beautiful crowing voice now, and even gathers his 2 girls with those special "yummy noises". He's very easy to handle.
If he needs to become food, my father-in-law has first dibs on him, but I'd love to find him a forever home with a flock of his own girls. We live in north Central MA, right on the NH border. I'm willing to drive quite a distance (several hours) for the right home, and will even drive to take him back if it doesn't work out.
