coco Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 One of my Barbu d uccle bantams started crowing today. I've had my suspicions for a few weeks now but she is definately a he. Hopefully he won't be too loud, at least we are ok till the lighter mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfer_chicken Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Uh oh Will you be keeping him? I love cockerels, but they're not everyone's favourite alarm clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mum Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 That happened with my Araucana, Agatha ... changed to Arthur and was returned to the farm. That was the bad news. The good news was, I bought four more hens to replace him He was a late developer and it was disappointing, no question of keeping him because of the neighbours, but boy was he handsome! I'm very fortunate that the farm where I source all my chooks were happy to take him back. Hope your boy isn't too noisey and you're able to keep him; what will you do if you can't?
