Rooster for Sale!

Thanks to Cedar Creek Hatchery not responding to my kind emails and going back on their word of properly sexing my chicks, I now have a beautiful French Wheaten Marans Rooster to give away.  Nugget has beautifully feathered feet, a good personality, and beautiful coloring.  So far he's very quiet, and the meeker of the two roosters. 

 

Another reason to get rid of Nugget, he's so lonely.  Today when I got home all that was left of Popcorn was two piles of feathers in the driveway. Apparently it happened between 3-5:30, Steve got some good pictures of him with his new camera before he disappeared.  The girls and I were pretty upset.  Nugget was pretty upset too.  We put the little chickens in the fenced in garden and they loved it of course.  I was watching them pretty closely.  I feel so sad for Popcorn.  I think it was a skunk, as Nugget smelled pretty ripe.   I know skunks like chickens, but I didn't know they attacked during the day. 

 

 

 

Poor Popcorn.  He was such a good chicken.   Shouldn't I know not to get attached to these things?
