Re: paxo the rooster

Looks like a Welsummer to me too

- probably about 6-12 months old from the size of his tail feathers and no spurs yet. I reckon he's started crowing a little while ago and either the neighbours complained, or the deeds of the house say no roosters, either way the family where he was raised couldn't keep him and didn't want to neck him... can't blame them really, he's a handsome chap unfortunately it is one of the things you have to deal with if you're going to raise chicks - at least half the hatchlings turn out to be roosters, which you either have to rehome (next to impossible), cull humanely or... pass onto someone else to deal with....
