Silkie and smooth Sizzle cockerels INO 4ever homes. CT near NY line

[Altfrizzle]

I have some very sweet cockerels who need their own flocks. 2 silkied sizzles, splash and I guess what you'd call blue/silver partridge. One smooth feathered sizzle who I guess is porcelain.

I don't have good pix right now because they've been put in their places by my rooster and have pin feathers all over their li'l hayeds.

These guys. Pic from a few months ago when they had all their head feathers!

I would soo love to have one of your silkie sizzled roos. My only sizzle/silkie roo was killed by a hawk and I can't find an other within a 4 Hr drive. And none of them have the pea combs as yours do! I want one like you have. But I've never gotten a chicken by mail. How do they handle the transport? How much are you asking?

 

[Altfrizzle]

I've never shipped a bird, so I have no idea. Sorry. :-( I'd be hesitant to do so also because these guys are well-loved. I'd imagine it would be traumatic! If you'd be interested in trying eggs, I could do that, but we're having high temps of about 20 degrees this week, so maybe once it warms up a bit.

Sounds good! I have done it that way. I'm hatching chicks now since my roo was killed, and I can't find another. Would you consider mailing some eggs now? I really need a roo old enough to guard the flock as soon as possible. And of course the eggs and chicks would in the house till the temps got warm enough anyway.

Thanks for the link. I have my flock ranging often, though. I’d not be able to keep them separate.

I free range my hens and my roosters on different days of the week. It actually works really well.
