I’m so sorry MJ.

 

[MaryJanet]

The worst part is I've realised he doesn't even know his own strength or how to fight. He was so easy to pick up and put in the box.

He's such an innocent.

This is going to plague my conscience for a good long while.

I ought to have got sex linked chicks, but it didn't even cross my mind. I though Australorp because Mary's so special and coronation sussex because they're such nice big birds and I hadn't had a white chicken yet.

Thanks for offering kindness.

Thing is MJ most of the young males are lovely while they are young. It would be better if you could keep him long enough to find out if he would still be lovely as a juvenile and then adult but that option isn't available for you. The no rooster laws completely infuriate me. They are sexists, species ist and completely unreasonable given the noisy world we live in.

I would have loved to keep him.

Yes I know. Urban chicken keeping, it leaves a lot to be desired.
One of the reasons I persevere with going to help the field chickens is it is one of those very rare places where chickens (not just hens) can be kept in a suburban setting. Speaking to the people whose houses lead onto the field, all bar one say they are used to and came to like the sound of Henry and the roosters before him. Everybody complains about the local barking dogs and the cats straying onto their property.

Yes he did. And he wasted their time when they could've been helping people who are more needy, like the elderly, sick or disabled. He's an "educated" healthy man in the prime of his life, with a family, who drove into flooded roads during a natural disaster because he hadn't brought in enough food in spite of all the official preparation warnings

Very frustrating.
