3 very large roosters - $150



I have three very large roosters for sale. They stand nearly 2 feet tall. We bought them in the spring because we were having weasels and raccoons getting into our chicken coop. The roosters have now taken care of the problem, and we also bought a Great Pyranese, so we no longer need them. I'm not sure what breed they are, but they do an excellent job protecting our hens. $150 for all three of them.

This is one that I saw the other day but I felt sorry for the dog. After reading this, wondered what is the poor dog good for if he is not good for what is listed.

This ad is very well stated. The Pyrenees dog is used for sheep protection. I am sure they found a home for it since the price was right. Sounded like well meaning sellers, honest to the chicken issue. Not every one has chickens.

That's a real shame

If folks did a bit more research, they'd know that LGD's are not typically inclined to protect poultry... They are called "Livestock" guardians because that's what they guard. Most however CAN be trained to at least accept the poultry if the owner will just take the time to train them. If I were closer, I'd be inclined to contact this person and take the dog.

This is my first story:

I put an ad on Craigslist to get rid of some roosters, I asked 10 bucks apiece. Unless I know the person and just give them the rooster, I will eat them instead of selling them for 9 bucks. See I am cantankerous.

A person called and wanted the roosters and was very happy to get them on the phone. They were some of my "toads" which is what I call a CX/ Dixie rainbow crosses. They are huge birds. Really big legs.

They end up either white with a tad of orange or barred with orange bleed through,


Above is a Toad. It is Bert Jr.

He is my future Chick Daddy. He is not for sale.


This picture show you just how big they are.

I had 3 toads, an EE CLB cross and a CLB. The CLB being the smallest.

They were told 10 dollars each.

They came out and got them, They were very pleased with the toads. They were not so pleased with the other two.

Once I gave them the birds, the woman walks into my coop. I do not like people walking into my coop. I told her nicely there are no more, that's it.


She says I want a red one. Why they need a red one to eat is beyond me. She says There is a red one!


She was pointing at my very high quality Partridge Chanticler. I told her that one was not for sale. She argued with me about whether she could buy it. Finally she understood I was not selling him.



Then the man asks if I have any other chickens, any all white ones. I have some 7-8 month old CX hens, my Toad Mommies. I said yes I have white ones but they are not for sale. He wanted to see them. I said fine and lead them to the breeding pen I keep them in.I opened the nest box on the side of the coop and showed them the birds. I picked an egg out of the nest. They were impressed and wanted to buy one. The rooster or a hen. I had to go through the whole works again. They are not for sale, they are breeding stock.

Then they asked if I had any birds they had not seen. I pointed to another coop/breeding pen with my trio of Speckled Sussex. They liked them but did not try to buy them.

I then pointed to my coop with Cream legbars in it. It is a huge covered run and 2 coops. These are my show breeding stock. They were impressed with them. Then they saw I had 2 roosters in there, they wanted to buy one.

Again I had to explain he was not for sale. It was getting a little old at this point.

I still had the toad egg in my hand. The woman then said, "do you sell eggs?"

I said "yes, 3 dollars a dozen I have about 5-6 dozen now for sale".

They could see all y chickens running around free, so they should know I free range, When I advertised the rooster I put in the ad I use no drugs or medicated feed. You would have thought I poked them with a hot stick. They went completely bat poop crazy over 3 bucks for a dozen eggs!

We were not going to make any more deals. The guy hands me 3-20s ($60) for the 5 roosters ($50). He asked me if I had change, I said no.

He said you go house and get change. I told him I doubt I have any change in the house. I never keep cash around and if I do it ends in my DW's purse. She was not home.

I told him I do not think I have any, you will have to run to town and get change. He said NO you check in the house...

So I went in and dug up 5 bucks, I had no idea where my wife had the money at. ( I use bank card for everything). So I grabbed 2 dozen eggs and brought them out for the extra 5 dollars I owed him..

He did not want the eggs $2.50 a dozen was too much. I then said well, lets unload the roosters you go to town and get change and come back if you want the roosters.

He finally decided the eggs would work for change..

I promptly marked his phone number as a DO NOT ANSWER. That way I know not to answer if he calls again...

Some people. Personally I wouldn't have gone into the house because after all that and demanding to see all my birds and then being told they weren't for sale, I'd be concerned that while I was gone they would try to steal them.

Sounds like they came to case your place, looking it all over ,then to come back and steal what they wanted. Watch out !

If they came to case it they were disappointed. There is nothing here but a bunch of chickens in cheap homemade coops. Also they drove 60 miles one way to get here.

I am just going to had bring correct cash. If they do not have it we round UP to whatever they have.
