Is my bantam....a cockerel?

[Lacy Duckwing]

Do you want him?

I want him so bad. But my Mom keeps saying no everytime I ask her.

It’s definitely 100%. I do admit you bought strait run you shouldn’t be overly surprised that you got a cockerel or two (not that I can see a second one). He is very handsome, and once you clean up their brooder and his toes he will also be very healthy

Thank you!

Did you give her all the best reasons in the world?

To me, four hens and one roo is a perfect ratio on the banties.

Well, you will definitely know if it’s a cockerel when he tries to start crowing!

I've been. She keeps saying no.

I'd totally keep him! But they are not allowed in my neighborhood and I don't want to get in trouble. I already have 13 chickens and I don't know if that would get me in trouble, so I'd rather not draw attention to all of my chickens.

Could you say "Jessa wants to know EXACTLY why you don't want him? Are there any other reasons besides having chicks?"

Yeah. There is threads on here somewhere of trying to change things in one's neighborhood. Maybe you ought to find out if you can change things.

How should I clean his toes?
