I had to give our favorite chicken away today because she turned out to be a rooster.
My son (he's almost 3 years old) had raised him from the time he was 2 days old.
All of our chickens are fairly tame but this was the one that would sit down on our lap to be petted and I loved that.
I explained to my son that 'Baby' would be keeping another lonely chicken company and he would live in a big field where he could be as noisy as he wanted to be.
But for a whole hour before he finally went to sleep he was talking about how he wanted to have Baby back.
I want Baby back too but we'd just get in trouble with the HOA.
The people Baby went to have chickens but no rooster. They had RIR rooster and gave them away because they were attacking the kids.
The little girl seemed very nice but the little boy was talking about how he had chased the roosters and then they started pecking him.
I strongly believe that you can make most any animal mean if you pester it enough.
They wanted Baby to have a gentle rooster.
I so would hate for Baby to be chased and teased and turn mean.
Even my toddler knows to be nice to animals.
And now he is heartbroken because I gave our chicken away!
