Olly Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Sorry Andy, I hope someone can help - I am too far away, but even if I were nearer I couldn't take a cockerel, and I suspect that may be the case for a lot of people on here. I hope you get some responses, but you might want to try looking elsewhere just because most of the people who post on here are, like me, suburban chicken keepers who only have hens. Cockerels don't work too well in a built-up area! I do hope you find someone who can help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Sorry, Andy, I'm far to far away . Hope you have some luck rehoming them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hi Andy, Try the River Cottage or Practical Poultry forums as most of us would be unable to take cockerels as we live in urban or suburban areas. Good luck. I hope you can find someone to look after them for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyirons Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 thanks for the tips everyone, i'll keep trying though. it's all very sad, the cockerel is so lovely, he's so old his top beak is worn down so much and he makes a lovely noise at 5am! anybody else got any ideas i'd love to hear them andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
