Free in Maryland- 8-week Buff Roo

[Ychicks]

Hello all,

So, our dear Melly, who we got (from TSC) as a chunky two-day old chick is showing serious signs of being more of a " Mel" than a "Melly". For the past week, we've been hearing him make a really loud squeaky-toy sounding noise in the mornings, which we suspect to be his attempts at crowing.

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to have Roos in our area so I am hoping someone would be willing to adopt him into their flock. My heart is so heavy and we are so sad to see him go, but he can't stay. The kids are already devastated.

We reside in Howard County Md. and would be willing to drop off within an hour/hour and half in any direction.

Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you.

That looks like a hen. I don’t see the signs of manliness. It should've had pointed saddle feathers, or at least getting the shiney feathers in. If it was a cockerel of course.

Don't despair! It looks like a hen to me as well!

How old is “Melly”?

Alas, it has come to pass that our dear Melly (23 weeks) who we thought was a he and then a she, has finally revealed his true identity as a He/Roo.
We were excited when other posters suggested "He" was a "She" and honestly, he never displayed any Roo traits - (he's very docile, gentle, never crowed ) until this weekend that is, when he tried to mate with on of the hens and then he CROWED. (*insert pikachu shocked face here!*). I have never been so saddened by the sound of a crow before as I was.

Anyway, back to square one. we are not allowed to have Roos in our area so I am hoping someone would be willing to adopt him into their flock.
