To give away: A six month old black cochin. He is gorgeous but I have too many roos and need to get rid of some! Here is a photo of him.

This is a pick-up only, sorry but cannot ship.

What would happen if I put him in with 3 other chickens?
Would he attack?
Would they attack him?
What would happen?
What's his personality like?
Is he good w/ kids?

Joe, he has never been around kids, you would have to put him up in a separate area(as you would any new bird)for the others to see and hear him for about 2 weeks. He is very healthy. He has D.E. mixed in with his food and gets treats and all the feed he can eat. I wish I could keep all my roos but they just have to go as they are wearing out my hens!
He is not a mean bird. I would have had him in a pot if he had been mean..that goes for any of my roos/hens.

Does he crow a lot?

 

[ozark hen]

Have not heard this one crow at all but that is probably because there are so many roos and he is down the pecking order chain. From what I understand from byc folks if there is an alpha roo (I have two alpha roos)some roos are afraid to crow.

I am sure if he was the only roo he would crow. If you are afraid of disturbing the neighbors then I wouldn't suggest getting a roo.
