Lavenders_Blue Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I normally just delete my freecycle e-mails straight away but for some reason decided to have a look and see what was on offer today. Someone is advertising a Japanese bantam pair (cockerel and hen) that they hatched earlier this year. They are not of any interest to me as I don't have any space for them and I certainly don't want a cockerel, but if anyone is in spitting distance of Rutland and would be interested in taking them then I am happy to help arrange it.

The Dogmother Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Odd that they are allowed to advertise livestock on Freecycle - most groups don't allow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 There often seems to be animals on ours, the number of times I have seen kittens offered. It's amazing really. It just worries me that they don't go to good homes because people take them on a whim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 It's a shame that your local groups rules allow it - it attaches no value to life at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 That's my local freecycle group too and I've just spotted the post. I can't take them either although I would love Japanese bantams at some point....just not a cockerel! I hope they are rehomed safely with someone who'll care for them.

The Dogmother Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I hope they go to someone who knows how to care for them; Japanese bantams are quite fragile. My Fleur is 5 now and increasingly delicate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelbel Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I really need new glasses - I read that as 'Just spotted Japanese bantam pair on bicycle'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 could be interesting, especially as they have very short legs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 What a great image, I am now picturing two Japanese bantams on a tandem!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I would love to add these to my two japanese ladies and I would have myself a little quartet but don`t think the neighbours would appreciate the little man too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
