Well I sold borrowed time:)

that was my rooster he was a beautifull Mixed EE and gernerally nice except for that one time when I reached in to pick up one of his girls to count her toes. That was not a good day for either of us lol. But other than that he had served me well and his ladies fathering many chicks but alas he was not what i wanted to breed with so he had to go. Ultimately I knew worse case senerio he would end in the stew pot but he is just so handsome I tried one last time on Craigs list now that the winter weather is finally breaking.

I threw a price tag of $10 on him far less than what he cost me in the long run but hey he is a Roo and I live in NY so its hard to re-home one.

I Got a buyer and dropped him off in NJ today!

He will have 9 ladies and then more maybe (if they get some hens from me later

) And a great life where he can crow all day long out in the open. (he had spent the last 5 months in my garage coop

So I am so happy I had to post this I am happy for him, and myself and well I wish him the best. His new owners are super nice and he will get to live out his whole life doing what he does best, strut and eat and poo

Here is a pic of him from a few months ago, he is even nicer now. He is just about a year old now, maybe 11 months.

Ouch, I know what you mean. We're also having a bit of a roo problem right now and no one would really want any of them except to become a meal. Just too many roos.

Glad you found a good home for him, though. We have a neighbor down the road from us who will almost constantly ask if we have any boys we can sell him...

So upsetting, people these days!
