I've been pretty lucky with these little ones. The wee guy in the video above got adopted to be a boyfriend to a very spoiled little house chicken that was rescued with several frost-biten toes. I have no doubt he will lead a spoiled life.
Another boy was adopted to join a single lonely little girl living just a few kms from me.
Last weekend I transported another young pair to someone that I have chatted with on-line for a couple years. She has wanted a pair of these guys for a while and we had an opportunity to meet in Bobcageon. They will be well cared for and live in Peterborough.
This leaves 3 more cockerels to go. I have girls to go with them if necessary. But one girl is very attached to me. And one girl has become her mom's best friend. It so cute to watch them together. Mom was lowest in the pecking order before and didn't really have a friend. So how do I take her away? We will see what happens. The boys will go eventually and until then they have a home here.
