Where at in the Northwest do you live? I'm in Vancouver, WA. Does the little guy get along with other roos? I have a small backyard coop and run. Plus they all get the full run of the fenced in yard. My roos, a silkie who has never been a 'top' dog and a very small D'Uccle (who thinks he is top dog and thinks he is much bigger then he really is.) His name is Hef. And he is always watching out for his ladies! But because of his tiny size, only his attitude is big!
Along with a couple of silkies, four other D'Uccles (all very small), plus a very timid polish, I only have 4 full/regular size hens, (2 americaunas, 2 delawares) So if you are not too far away, and you think everyone would get along, I would be willing to help raise little Nando. Another 'good' issue, I don't eat my chickens. I collect eggs, but will never butcher any of my birds. So little Nando would be save and happy life, (till it is his time for chicken heaven) Let me know. PM or email, and will can talk.
Thanks,
Paula
I love that when one door closes, another door opens. I really appreciate your offer and will keep it on the table for sure! i have him on Craigslist as well and some people are at least considering him and his ladies as of this morning. They have an unused coop which to house him and the girls. I've learned not to count my chickens before they hatch (so to speak!) But I like the idea if it actually happens. I'll keep you informed! Thanks so much for being willing to step up and take my oddball little dude. That means a lot to me! We're in PDX, by the way.
He's the only roo in my flock of 9, so I have no idea what he would do around another one! He's third up from the bottom in pecking order around here. The old biddies aren't about to let a young roo take control around here! I have a chihuahua, so I totally get the little Napoleon syndrome. You may be hearing from me soon!
