I am in Sangamon County....little over an hour to Woodford County... what is in your incubator?

Anyone in downstate, real downstate like Highway 13 downstate, want a good rooster? He takes care of his hens and is fatherly to any chicks that his hens hatch out. If I don't find a new home for him he will go to freezer camp.

Someone else close by...cool.

Ummm. Right now in the incubator I have all Large Fowl SLW, GLW, BLRW, blue/red, BBS and assorted pure Cochin, Light Brahmas, Buff Brahmas and Barnies. Way too late for me to be incubating but stuff happens...LOL

I know how far south you are, darn it. Would love to give him a good home, but the distance is too great. Sure hope you find someone who can take him!

I'm going to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving. Maybe I could drop him off or meet you somewhere.

If you are willing to do a meet up that would be great! I didn't even ask, what breed is he?

He's a mutt. I thought I had a picture of him on BYC but I'm not finding it. I'll try to post one for you.

OK, no problem. Since I am roosterless presently and you say he is a good boy he can be Heinz 57 and it would be all good.

my in-laws live in joliet. i get up there every so often, so i'm pretty familiar with the place.

Fantastic!
I've been looking for some one to share my passion who is also not geogrphically challenged to my local. What do you raise? Next time you're up this way lets talk and see if we can improve our mutual flocks!
