Well, I just sent one of my 7-week-old roos to a new home, and even though I know it's going to be a great home (with an older lady who has a hen and a duck), it broke my heart to see him go Does it ever get easier?
Oh gosh, I am sorry it upset you so much. I must just be a tough old hen. I am very fond of my chickens, and hate it when one dies, but I do not consider them pets like I do my dogs and cats. As a result, I am delighted when I can find a roo a good home!
Better sooner than later. I had to get rid of my extra roosters, but they were 4-6 months old (don't remember exactly). My only regret is if I kept the right ones.
Quote:Yeah, I'm glad he got a great home. I guess, with these being my first chicks, I just let myself get too attached. I'm sure he'll be fine Of course I also have an egg pipping at the moment and the little one is working very hard to get out, so that helps a lot
I am going to be the same way....I in a month or 2.....I will need to find homes for my little roos....... I am just not sure WHO!!!!!! I am sorry you are feeling so sad!!
