Young Rooster Needs a Home - Austin, TX

[ChezCadam]

We took in a stray/abandoned baby rooster but cannot keep him. I'm unsure of his breed but he's in good health and a happy little guy. I would guess he's around 10 weeks old.

Please reach out if you're interested or know anyone who may be.

We're in Austin, TX.

Thanks!

He's such a cure little guy.
May I ask why you need to get rid of him?

He looks like Black Australorp, what with the comb profile and emerald green sheen to those black feathers. Are you sure he's a cockerel? My 7 month old BA hen, Penny, is big 'ol gal!

You should try posting on the "Where am I? Where are You?" forum here on BYC.

Would enjoy a follow up on his situation. Good luck!

Sure. We have a small (4 bird) flock in urban Austin who are very happy. They're not really looking for a guy! If we had more space we'd consider it but crowing could be a problem where we live and we don't want any chicks right now. We also have two small dogs and don't want to risk him being aggressive toward them. So just trying to take care of him until he finds a permanent home.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm fairly certain he's a cockerel but will post a follow up!

Update: we rehomed the young rooster earlier this week. He has a small flock to grow into and protect, lots of land in rural Lockhart, and lots of love from his new family. Success!
