Chocolate Orpington needs a home.
« on: November 13, 2012, 12:23:33 pm »
 :chook:  Hi there. I am looking for a home for a young (hatched in april) chocolate Orpington bantam cockerel as we have two and only four hens... So I would like to find one of them a home before I run into problems.  :-\   :chook:

Yvonne.s, may be able to help but you don't say where you are? If you are near Bury St.Edmunds in Suffolk your problems are solved  ;D

Zacb I have a choice of four buffs if you're interested? If not they will be freezer fodder next year.

Hi Bumblebear, I'm guessing as they are freezer fodder not quite what I'm after...bantam cockerel? Have a friend at beck row who has a lonely bantam buff orp and is looking for a partner for her....bantam by any chance???

Not a bantam.  They will only be freezer fodder because I have just recently replaced our cockerel (who died of old age) and we have 3 more.  Lovely birds, but I would rather eat them than send them to auction.
