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:)
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
