I need to find a home for our Roo. Sadly, I have to let him go, due to the landowners request. He is so loving, docile and loves being petted. He has crowed a few time when he was 7 weeks old, but hasn't crowed since transitioning to the Coop. He does a great job at morning and night watch. He...
Hi Y'all,
