It’s all good, we banter. I just like poking
@Shadrach from time to time. He has a different (and admirable) approach to keeping chickens than most of the BYC community. I am on a farm and also have a meat bird option, not all chicken keepers are as able to face that option. And sometimes it
does matter, like when a little human gets attached to and names a whole bunch of cockerels (that even I can’t accommodate, especially the less well behaved ones). It’s hard telling a sweet little kid that that chick he loved is in the freezer for gender related issues. Thankfully the young one living here knows that we can’t keep all the boys, better than I do most times!
I filled a similar “pullet” request and the family got a stealth Rooster. I offered to take him back for a full year, constantly. They were a little leery because of their young daughter, but they kept him and are now very happy to have him. He alerted their dog to a raccoon attack in progress, is an Awesome Boy in all respects, but is still spurless and going on 2 years old this spring! He is great with his little human (though she is a bit afraid of one of the hens, who had a slightly aggressive feeding response to her attempts at hand feeding!)
Wyandottes are definitely clean legged.
