Looking for a good home for my rooster. Don’t want him to go into a stew pot or a fighting ring, just some place where he can do what God made him to do... be a happy rooster, king of his domain. He’s about a year old, just a hair under, and is a very handsome guy. Not sure of his breed, but think he’s probably half Rhode Island Red. The reason I’m trying to re-home him is because my pen is too small for him AND the 4 hens. The girls can’t really get away when he’s pestering them.
Hopper is very good at his rooster duties. He alerts the hens to where food is and is very watchful for anything out of the ordinary. He is very protective of his harem. He sounds his alarm cackle when the wild turkeys or deer get too close to the pen, or even when the FedEx guy walks by the pen bringing a package. If he was able to run free, he’d probably chase them all off, lol!
Ideally he’d be suited for a free range flock. Unfortunately I can’t let my flock free range where I live because of stray neighborhood dogs and an assortment of forest predators here. If I could free range my flock, I know that he’d be a very good guardian for the hens, and he’d nail anything that tried to come after them.
If you are interested in Hopper, please contact me through HYS messaging, which forwards messages to my email. I check my email periodically throughout the day, so WILL get back to you.
