It was with a heavy heart that I brought Jane (now Thor) back to Serenity Sprouts today. He was one of three Bantam Cochins that came to live with me in July, to replace some flock losses that I had suffered. He was born on 6/29 with his two sisters (Pepper and Natasha) and came home with a few other chicks.
He was the most social of the bunch, the most likely to come to the front of the brooder to investigate, the first to make a brooder escape to investigate the room. And then came the big red comb and the bright red comb. I had a feeling he was going to turn out to be a roo. He did not disappoint, joining in with my therapy Bantam Cochin roo (Rex) in announcing the morning. Sadly, I already have more roos (11 or possible 12) than I need and I didn't want him to end up in the bachelor flock, getting picked on as the new kid. I want him to find a nice family who appreciates his personality, his sense of humor, and his amazing handsomeness. I know he will make a family happy and I appreciate Serenity Sprouts for their amazing policy and providing him a place to crash until he finds his forever home.
What a great Rooster he is. He calls the ladies to food and circles around them as they chow down. He takes the scraps. I have a camera in the coop and last night Hei Hei (Thor) went out to gather two hens up and into the coop minutes before the auto door closed.
everyone loves him. Even the neighbors. He has such a soft and reserved crow. Such a special bird!
Thor is getting along great with my 2 year old grandson, he is such a gentle and beautiful bird. We are spending Easter weekend in Erie with my kids and grandson before heading back up to the Rockies where Thors flock of 9 hens awaits him. He will have a great, productive, and well protected life. His name is going to change to Hei Hei after the rooster in the Disney movie Moana By request of the grandson 😂. I’ll update you when he gets up to his flock.
Thor gets adopted!
