Looking for a home for this guy:

He's a beardless EE, and he's a bantam. This picture is from this summer, when he was about 5 months old.

He is now our only guy, and he is good with the hens. He doesn't harass them and he is a gentleman with good roostering skills. He is calm, but unfortunately he still jumps at my daughters occasionally, which is upsetting them. He doesn't do an outright attack, more like stealth jump and then backs off. We are trying to give him a second chance, as I want a rooster here. I've told the girls to bring the flock treats, but they are really in there to pick up their favorite hens, which upsets him.
If we have to butcher him, we will do it, so I am really just looking for options here. We will simply have to keep trying to find a rooster than doesn't get upset that the girls want to spend time with the hens. If that means no boys, well, then, so be it. I think this one picked up some bad habits from the more aggressive bantam cochin that was boss before we killed all our other boys but this one. "Bandit" aka "Mr. Green Jeans" was the beta-boy.
If anyone is interested, I can get current pictures of him, including his legs and feet and current size. They do not have lice or mites, as far as I can see.
