He sounds very nice, Welsummers are supposed to be great, post his pic when you get a chance. What breed are your hens?
The people we bought the orpingtons from (in upstate CT..a father -daughter duo) were pretty freaky. The "farm" was beyond filthy. The goats were hanging out on muddy, moldy matthresses; the whole place reeked of animal poop..it was terrible. But the chick area was fairly clean so I figured they'd be ok. We kept them in the brooder because they were still little but after a few weeks they'd grown so quickly, we put them outside w/the other girls. Thankfully, they were healthy! They had a dead weasel hanging from a fence in their turkey area. I nudged DH and said WHAT is THAT?!!! He said "Looks like a dead weasel...." I couldn't help it...I HAD to ask the freak why he had a dead weasel hanging from his fence even though I was pretty sure I didn't really want to know his answer. He said it had killed a few turkeys so he'd shot it and it was hanging on the fence because it would give off a scent that warns other weasels to stay away. I said "Oh...ok we should go..." We got our chicks and got the hell outta there. Needless to say, I hope I run into a few normal peeps @ TSC on Saturday!!!
He sounds like a good roo! Pictures pleeeease
TOTALLY disgustingly gross! lol I think the weasel killed his baby turkeys. He had plenty of full-grown ones although from the looks of that run, he really should have thanked the weasel...those turkeys lived in deplorable conditions. He showed us where his pea fowl lived and we couldn't stand in there for more than a few seconds; the smell was unbearable. ANYWAY....! what's for dinner? lolol
He's so handsome!
