MaBelle Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I have a small flock of Silkie chickens. Now that they are grown I had waaaay too many roosters so I put a "Free Silkie Roos" ad on craigslist. Tonight Pepper the silkie hen came out to my house with her "mom" to meet the roo of her dreams. Pepper lives inside, wears a diaper and a pink polka dot hair ribbon. (feather ribbon??) Anyhow, apparently the roosters were so appealing she could not decide, and ended up taking home seven. So, a chicken version of the Bacholerette?? You can't make this $h!t up. Edited January 11, 2019 by MaBelle 4 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaBelle Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 I have to admit that I saw she was a nut, I mean a softie, right away and let it slip that any leftover roos where going to be sacrificed to the coyotes. She started picking them up as fast as she could and loading them into her car. 3 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Good grief. I've had chickens (no roosters)... there's no way I'd keep them in the house. 7 roosters??!!! Well, at least the neighbors won't be bothered at 6am. 😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once mentioned to my mother I was thinking about getting chickens (I can have up to six on my property in the city.) she shuddered and in a voice of great trepidation said "chickens. .. ." (she lived on a farm until she was seven, and they visited her aunt and uncle's farm every summer.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausmumof3 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Oh man is she going to diaper the Roos too?! That poor hen isn’t going to have anything to tie a hair bow in by next week! i once had a guy who bought a roo from us just to annoy his neighbours because they complained he was too loud taking the bin out to the road. I did have some trepidation about the long term wellbeing of mr roo but it was that or being dinner! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I hope she has some likeminded friends who can adopt a rooster each. I like the hair bow. [ETA: As long as the chicken doesn't mind it!] 🎀 Edited January 11, 2019 by MercyA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the elementary schools my dad taught at had stray roosters, hens and chickens who took up residence at one corner of the school’s fenced up field. They were very noisy at school dismissal time but quiet during school time, very well behaved self invited long term guests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 This had me laughing out loud. Love it. Glad your roos found a great home.....even if it just for one night...that might end at 3am🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
