We had a lovely Pekin dumped on us two years ago. Thrown from a pasing car down our drive. In really good health so well looked after, but just at the crowing stage. We managed to rehome him, which was easy as he was such good stock.
Now earlier this week someone dumped 4 cockerels in a neighbour's newly aquired wilderness. Two Pekins and two Wellsummer crosses I think. No food, no water, no shelter. Took 2 hours to catch them and one has been despatched -nasty little thing. So we will give them some life and they they will have to go the same way as we have no space for them. Very difficult to rehome cockerels anyway, but these have no use for breeding.
