Super rare Silver Campine cockerel- Southeast Texas!

[Somyis]

4 months old, hatched from hard to get shipped eggs. We planned on keeping him because he's got great temperament and is very calm being held by me (especially for his flighty breed) but we're thinking he might get too big for our tiny bantam hens, despite being medium sized. Andd he's definitely too loud for our poor neighbors He is very lovable and we really wish we could keep him

-Handled since hatch/imprinted on me, so he is very good with humans
-Very alert, intelligent, inquisitive, heat tolerant, and a great forager

We're located right on the SE TX/SW LA border

He likes to bum around laying like this with his flock (where he feels safe of course) Kind of a big baby. He'll lay right on our porch doormat.

Also him and his sister will sometimes peck at your clothing as if they're either grooming you, or just out of curiosity of the clothing's weird textures.. and possibly for attention! (not aggression) Supposedly the nicest and most social of birds will do this

I wish I was closer! I just had a whole flock killed by gnats.

Suffocation and blood loss. I lost 2 hens and a rooster. It sucks. But I have a chick hatching soon, so hopefully everything works out ok!
