Angels4 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 and sealed his fate. Unfortunatly as we all suspected Coco was a roo and this past Saturday (AT 5:30AM) he found his "voice" and woke the neighborhood. He did seem to suprise himself and looked around as if to say "Did I do that?" as a condition of keeping chickens on the island I am unable to keep any roosters so Coco has been rehomed in a town nearby where people can keep roosters. I'm so sorry to see him go he was starting to be quite the stunner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels4 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 In my heart I knew it would happen sooner or later, but I was still holding out hope that I would find an egg in the nest box one morning. He is actually living on the mainland very close to the island and I've been told I can check on him frequently. And I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels4 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 He was just a young 17 weeks and was already quite large.....and loud. The photo was taken when he was 13 weeks in the photo so when he left he was much larger and his comb/wattles were a deeper red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
