Beautiful Bantam Easter Egger roo needs a new home
Location: Gainesville, FL (will drive within 5 hours to deliver)
Roosters name: Neville
Breed: Bantam Easter Egger
Weight: 3 pounds
Age: 1 DOB: March 25, 2020
Size: Bantam
About rooster: Neville is a very sweet rooster who takes good care of his Bantam Easter Egger hens. My dear SIL is very sensitive to light and sound and has decided the rooster must go (he works nights from his home office + can't stand the normal crowing).
Neville likely would do best in a home with only hens, ideally Bantams but he is tall and big (much bigger than the Bantam EE hens) as you can see in the pix, so maybe he could live with normal-sized hens. He, ahem, likes the ladies (but doesn't like competition).
When Neville was a young rooster, out of a Crackle Hatchery order of 30 chicks 20 were roosters :0, other roosters were always being mean to him. The other roosters were also mean to the hens and each other. Neville would jump into my arms to escape other roosters.
Unlike the other roosters, Neville lets the hens eat first and keeps watch over them, jumping up on the roost to keep a lookout, and crowing at the first sign of a hawk in the sky or a strange, potential predator, noise.
He is a beautiful little boy who looks a lot like an owl and will eat greens out of your hand.
He has been raised with organic food, classical music, living with a small flock of ten or fewer chickens (2 crossbeaks have lived nearby, though one was recently killed, and his own flock of hens). I will drive him to you. Prefer a home that doesn't kill or eat roosters.
We are by the prairie in Gainesville, FL, and I will drive him to you, at no cost, for a good home! #chickenlove
