I am 75 and have recently discovered that I really enjoy homesteading activities, so in the last year I have acquired a milk cow, 2 young heifers, 2 steers, 2 Llamas, 2 cats, 11 goats, and my chickens & guineas. I have Black australorps and we had 11 hens and 1 rooster. I have lost 2 hens to hawks and last week lost my rooster. I'm not sure why. One day he didn't look well and the next day he was gone. He was a wonderful protector of my hens and maybe he was struck by a hawk. I need an adult rooster replacement and ran across this forum in searching for one. I have a closed flock so I'm concerned about getting my rooster from someone who is as particular as I am about having healthy birds. I live 15 minutes south of Fort Worth, Tx.
My other hobbies have to do with homesteading. I make all of my own bread, butter, yogurt and also make aged and fresh cheeses.
