Another cockerel in the family.

[farthing]

We have a group of elderly hens who are without a rooster.
I contacted a local rescue asking if they had any lightweight, older roosters looking for a new home- and the had a few. We took home a black, silkie cockerel we have called Truffles, and and after a week's quarantine will be introduced to the girls( after worming etc).
So I hope will settle in for the few years he has left.

I'm so bad because we can't really afford to take in any more!

Hope he settle in. I do want a silkie one day. Don't forget to post a pic of him once he is out and about withhis girls.

Cute.

We've got to let our Cornflake go. :(

He's started crowing lots now, naughty cockerel.
