Title: Buff Orpington young cockeral - working home only please - Cumbria
Post by: SallyintNorth on November 10, 2012, 09:51:26 am
A friend has hatched some rare breed eggs under a broody. 

The Buff Orpington cockeral is a beauty, but the friend is a light sleeper and can't cope with 'the racket' of a cockeral. 

She likes him very much so doesn't want him to go in the pot if a working home can be found for him.

The provenance is good - the eggs were from our local Rare Breeds rep!

We would have him ourselves but our current inbred mongrel of a cock is so very good at looking after the hens we dare not depose him.

Hatched 30th June 2012. 

(No need to offer cooking pot homes, thanks; if we can't find him a working home we will be eating him ourselves.  :yum:)
