Thanks so much.Oh I am so sorryI just popped in here to see if there was an update and saw this sad news.
It is hard to lose a loved flock member. Thinking of you and sending hugs
I just popped on and read that your girl didn't pull through. My condolences.Thanks so much.
Yes, very sad. She was my favourite. When we first got her home she had a sore leg, so spent a lot of time with her which made her very friendly. She was the best chicken. I’m getting teary again now, writing this!
Thanks so much
Oh he is a lovely dude. Rare breed too! Hope you find a home for him, have you tried local Facebook groups? That's where I offload my birds.
I will see if I can find a local Facebook group, thanks for the suggestion. I put him up on trademe but I feel a bit unsure about listing him that way. I would prefer that he doesn't get used for meat, though I accept that as a possibility, but I am worried about him being used for fighting. Is that a thing here?
Ultimately you never quite know, but I haven't had any interactions with anyone I think is using roosters for fighting. Just eating. I give mine away for eating. Cock fighting is pretty specialized. I wouldn't worry about that avenue too much.
That's good to hear. I added something in my trademe listing about how they are small birds, so that no one would think that he would be a bruiser. If we don't find him a home, I will probably pass him over the fence to my neighbours while our daughter is at school and then invent a story about how he escaped and found a new family.
