Hi all,
I'm based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire and I decided after three years of having my pekin go broody to let her sit some eggs. Unfortunately, it's left me in that awful place where I have a cockerel. I would like to rehome him with his egg-mate (different parents, but both Welsummers with a hint of legbar from a couple of generations back according to the farm). He's a wonderful boy and he's 3 months old; not even started crowing yet, but it's a matter or time. His name is Ginger (my hoping he was a she) and his lady friend is Marilyn. I can post up pics if you'd like to see but I really want them to go to a good home. He's a lovely mannered thing, as most cockerels are, and he is still hen-pecked by his mother, but beginning to strut around and show off a bit.
I've loved having him and I wish I didn't live in a built up area, I'd dearly love to keep him, but it's just not feasible and I can see the complaints appearing when he starts to crow.
Thanks
Jo
