Looney Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 .....it wasn't his fault he was born male! A guy from my work has a beautiful male Silkie callled Trik who is need of a new home. He was bought with his two sisters before his owner was able to tell if he was a male or a female. I know it's a long shot as most people only want hens but there is no harm in asking. He currently lives in Foxton which is on the A10 about 8 miles South of Cambridge. He is a full size Silkie (i.e. not a bantam), and is 6 months old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Might be worthwhile for your friend to post on River Cottage site, or Practical Poultry, more of a likely audience. Shame, he's lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Also try the pekinbantams.com forum. I know he's not a bantam, but they sell all sorts on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions, they sound like the best idea, I'll pass them on to his current owner. I'm trying not to get too deeply involved in the rehoming as I know I'll end up feeling personally responsible for his fate - does that sound really mean? I get attached to animals so easily though. Thanks again xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylucan Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I had the same problem and someone gave me details for Xmas Tree Farm near Sevenoaks, i know it may be a trek for you, but they have a petting farm and loads of different types of animals, they took my 3 boys with no trouble, and i know they wont be used for culling or anything like that, Hopefully this summer i will be taking my children there as i had never even heard of the place and we hope to see our boys there, The link is. http://www.xmastreefarm.co.uk/ Hope that may be some help.
