Should I be upset ?

I can see why you're frustrated at the situation now. How rude of that rooster to up and die on you!
However, you didn't want the first rooster because it was mean. You gave it away, probably with the explanation that it was causing havoc with the chickens. So the friend gave the rooster away, not realizing that your situation would change.

It's just one of those things.... let it go.

 

When you gave the rooster to him did you specifically say to him when he no longer interested in having the rooster he should check back with you?


Anyway, you need a roo bad.

 

Yep, I vote let it go...

Unless you gave it with the stipulation that you be contacted before he got rid of the roo, then it was just a gift.

And what a person does with a gift is totally up to them. That's just what I've been taught...saves a lot of frustration.

 

WEEEELL , if you gave it, you gave it ! But it would have been nice if they would have checked before they "gave it"! Sorry that may not be what you want to hear right now!

Ahhhh.....dont worry about it......Roosters are a dime-a-dozen ....you can find another one.

 

If the roo was mean you don't want to use that one for breeding anyway, you will just carry on that trait.

I agree with letting it go as your reason for getting rid of him in the first place would have stopped me from calling you and asking if you wanted him back if I had him.

Go find a good example of the breed, and I don't recall any breed standard saying 'mean' under temprament . Only good examples should be used for breeding.

 

If you gave him away, you had a good reason to, and if he was mean, you don't want to make babies from him anyways. Think of it as a good thing.

 

if u lived near me i give u a turken rooster
