Beautiful Mixed Colour Pekin Cockerel
My little miracle chick is in need of a good forever home. His egg pipped on the evening of the 30th of August but failed to hatch - the following morning I found him stone cold and not moving, still inside his shell. Thinking I couldn't make him worse than dead, I broke it open to see if there had been something wrong with it...and he moved! I rushed him indoors and lay him on a hot water bottle. Two hours later I had a noisy little fluffball, and was able to go back under his mum with his newly hatched sister later that day. He's a bit of a mixture on colour - mostly dark with some yellow patches and white splotches on his chest, but a real feisty character - he's even been facing up to my big matriarch chicken even though he's about a fifth of her size! Unfortunately I can't keep cockerels due to close neighbours, and because one of my hens is his sister. I'm asking a small amount to ensure a good forever home rather than a stewpot, thank you. He's currently five weeks old so won't be ready to leave for another 3 weeks as yet. Read More
