The little white Silkie rooster that was aggravating the three new chickens . .
Silkie Rooster
. . gone!
The lady with the turkey eggs wants some Silkies and I told her . . you can have this one! She was happy to get him. She already has some chickens and has a secure pen and coop. I’m not sure if I have two or three girl Silkies but if I have three, I’ll give her one of the girls and with a girl and a boy Silkie . . she will have a coup full of Silkies in no time! They do like to hatch babies.
I was glad to find a home for him.

OK, I have to ask: Do you ever cook up the chickens? Chicken soup? I suspect it would be hard to do, but then I’m not from a farming family or community.

Every now and then, when we have too many roosters and I can’t find homes for them, I’ll make broth but eating them is not something I plan to do. I’m not saying I wouldn’t if the need ever arises. There are meat birds, egg birds and combo birds. So far, we’ve mostly had egg birds and they aren’t very meaty.

The look on Vince’s face would imply another end to that rooster!

Found him a new home . . the rooster . . not Vince! 🙂

Love the look on Vince’s face! Here’s hoping some of your chicken problems are solved.

I thought that the rooster had met his doom too by the look on Vince’s face. He’s a good sport posing for the camera, huh?

Woohoo! Isn’t it amazing how a little bartering makes everyone happy – including the rooster, I’ll bet! This is probably a dumb question, but since I know nothing much about chicken raising, except what I learn here and my mom telling me that she hated having them, will any rooster work with any chicken? I’m thinking yes, since it’s all one species, but maybe there are other factors?

Happy ending! I thought perhaps it had gone to the freezer; glad it has a home.
