Cockerels

Post by Amie »

I was given 4 Chicks as females... Sadly 2 Defiantly Boys and 1 im not certain yet >dum< I have a beautiful faverolle Boy called Daphne-Dave he is about 14 weeks.He is beautiful and if I didn't have Neighbours he would not be going anywhere {cry}

The we have the Lovely Boris(Doris) Johnson a Beautiful white Silkie funny lad that likes nothing better than spinning around the Garden catching flies :-D again Im sad to give this lad up.

Boris is the only one that crows but not every day and the crow is pathetic.

5* Home/s wanted for these 2... I'm in no hurry to Re-home them. They still being very good lads...would like them to be as free range as possible. No cockerel boxes please x

Please don't think I'm being picky just love them and want the best )w(
I know how hard it is to find homes for Cockreles but believe there is a nice home out therexxx

I don't think I can have have Neighbours and Old Ex Battery Girls and I dont want them being hassled by a very Large Faverello Boy.

Im in no Hurry and at the moment the Boys getting put in place by the Girls so all is peacefull in my Lowestoft back Garden :-D

I thought I did every thing right kept asking the breeder, you sure they Girls she said 100% sure. I asked how she knew she said I'm very experienced maybe she needs more practice {warn} I have never taken on an Animal... not expecting to keep it until the day it dies.If there was a way to keep them, I so would. I have such a nice little flock that all get on so nicely {cry}

That's a shame amie {cry} would you be able to return them to the breeder (since they did promise you girls after all).
Although I guess they wouldn't be guaranteed to find them good homes I guess :?

I'm afraid your breeder was not very knowledgable to tell you they were
girls at such a young age, alot of breeders cannot be sure with silkies until they
crow or lay eggs, its certainly not possible when they're chicks.
You could try preloved, & there's a facebook site just for rehoming cockerels.
If you try asking your neighbours if they mind they may surprise you!

I'd take them back )t' )t'

You may find a local farm where they'd take them off you (only one crows if you have two - normally).
But there's a chance should you do that, it's a freebie Sunday Lunch, especially at the age they are.

A lot of Cockerels at Auctions are sold for pennies and I've overheard the conversations!

Have you managed to rehome Dave, or decided to keep him?

Oh well done for finding him a home! so many of them aren't so lucky so dont
feel bad, be happy for them! Perhaps this lady will let you visit to see how they are.
