I'm sad for him too.

I’m sad for you and the wife

Sorry to hear this, I had my suspicions about at the 3 week mark, but like Shorley I held out hope I was wrong.

He sure is eye candy though, what a gorgeous specimen of roosterhood

What aroused your suspicion? So I can add it to my library of cockerel signs.

Some Good News, Some Bad News

On Monday Sydney celebrated her 5th birthday!

The poor girl is deep in her molt but that did not stop her from enjoying her corn cake!

The bad news......

Met the second cockerel to live at FBA.

I've known for about a month that he probably was not a hen but I did not want to admit it. Mrs BY Bob is very sad. No Polish at FBA this winter.

Versace will need to be rehomed. If anyone is interested I will travel a long way to find him a great home.

Happy hatch day Sydney.

I am sorry Versace is a boy. He is stunning. Now I am sad again Julio is a boy. If Julio had been a pullet, Versace would come live with me. I'm still tempted but I really think Reba is a cockerel. 2 adult roosters is my magic number. Julio is going no where, I love that little imp. I desperately want a Branch son which I now think I have. And now with Randy I will have 3. Like I said 2 has always been my magic number. Next spring I will have some long hard decisions to make.

Oh he could do it all right. I did not think Branch would be able to successfully do the deed with my big girls. Hello Twig to prove me wrong. I think this is a wonderful idea. If Versace is not yet crowing, he could continue to stay with Bob's flock for a bit longer. I bet Aunt Aurora can teach him a thing or two about manners. What he does not learn from her, Bernie will teach him. Royalchick also has the perfect flock to bring in a young idiot cockerel. All adult hens who have been there, done that and will take no nonsense. I fully support this plan.

If he joined your group you could have Polkies........just saying.

And I support that plan @RebeccaBoyd!

I know and it is so tempting.

Adele is not a "Adele" though.

He is not full polish, he is a polkie. I cannot let him go and I will not. This little imp has me wrapped around his tiny back toe. We can blame @Ponypoor for my problem. I was told when the eggs arrived I could eat the betty eggs. I am so glad I did not. Long may Julio live here in my flock.

If I were to take him @BY Bob road trip becomes complicated. After dropping off Versace to me he then has to head to your house. I will have Randy caught and he can come to you. If you agree to that, well, we may have something to think about here.

Thanks Alex. It's disappointing but we can't change it. Hopefully we could try again next year

I like this idea.

I can’t say this about Rudy the Orpington roo. He has a comb problem, but he’s sweet as molasses! I can’t imagine getting rid of him. My other roo? Time will tell
