He has several pens. This way, you'll always get an update about your beloved rooster :)<br /><br />Email me at deafanimals@gmail.com if this is something you would consider. Transportation can be worked out.<br /><br />KatherineDeaf Animalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053394203631894535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-51876648263304173882009-07-12T15:01:03.561-04:002009-07-12T15:01:03.561-04:00One more thing.

He also does rescue and help find some a home.<br /><br />If you want to find him a home to live out his life, I can talk with him about taking Henry in. Do not hesitate to let me know!<br /><br />KatherineDeaf Animalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053394203631894535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-37175403811489975272009-07-12T14:55:21.779-04:002009-07-12T14:55:21.779-04:00How about finding a home who will let Henry live o...How about finding a home who will let Henry live out his life? There are some people who want one for a pet and ther are homes who will not have their roosters or hens butchered. <br /><br />It is possible Henry would do fine with just chicks who grew up with just him and become hens. There'll be no roosters to force him out.<br /><br />Just a thought.<br /><br />KatherineDeaf Animalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053394203631894535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-40233208774122136242009-07-11T10:56:40.906-04:002009-07-11T10:56:40.906-04:00Your uncle is right, but you still have to decide ...Your uncle is right, but you still have to decide what you want to do. Unfortunately Rocky is doing his job well, if you have a predator attack, Rocky will defend his flock to the end. Henry probably wouldn't. If you keep him for breeding he will be passing on his beauty and probably his passiveness too. You just have to decide what you want in your flock. Another thing too, is maybe his testosterone levels may be low too, and so he doesn't want to fight and he might not be a strong breeder either. <br /><br />It's never easy to own animals, because hard decisions have to be made. They are animals, not people. It's a toughie, When our dear Gregory Peck got killed by an owl, we were sad for months!Throwback at Trapper Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418370592659531735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-61821162673933937662009-07-11T09:00:42.118-04:002009-07-11T09:00:42.118-04:00I wish I knew the answer.
