smudgley Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hi guys, We need to find homes for the light sussex we bought as young chicks a few weeks ago as 4 of them are cockerals & we don't want to upset the neighbours, if anyone is interested, you are welcome to them. They are young & healthy & they can crow for England! We do know a lady who will take them from us, but she is quite a distance away, so thought i'd ask on here 1st. We are near Stourbridge, West Midlands.[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgley Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 I knew you lot would be fighting over them. I am taking them to the poultry auction on wednesday this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylucan Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Sorry Hun, i live in a builtish up area, when i had cockerals i had to find a home for them as well. I managed to find a home for them at a sort of local farm that shows all their animals and is open daily to the public, Is there nothing like that round your way. ?

xChicken04x Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Sorry, i cant help either, i was going to suggest the same as Ladylucan. Is their no little farms around? Or maybe a (very kind) rellative could have him. I would love to take him but we are too far away and now isnt the best time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgley Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Thanks both. There are 4 cockerals. We have asked around but "Ooops, word censored!"ody wants them, so I will be taking them to the poultry auction tomorrow. We live in a built up area & are surrounded by gardens. Noone has complained yet, but 2 of the cockerals have a crowing competition & they are very noisy once they start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladylucan Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Yep i had the same problem, i used to cringe when they started waiting for someone to come knocking, .... thankfully they didnt. good luck x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgley Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 They've gone. The garden is much more peaceful & the cockerals all went to people who I hope will be keeping them for breeding not the pot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudgley Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Awwwww. Weldone you for being so brave!!!!Who did they go to? What was it like there? I need details!!!! xx I took them to a poultry sale, it was fine there, I have been before. They went to 4 different people & they all sold for £3 each (which is about £2.50 more than we expected) So all in all it was ok & I don't have to keep cringing & worrying about the neighbours when I'm in the garden now.
