We went to a chicken swap this past weekend, I was looking for a couple of more Silkie Chickens. They had lots of chicken breeds, rabbits and pot belly pigs. Like I said not looking for a rooster, but this one caught my eye. He was beautiful. He belonged to a very nice Amish women, she seemed sincerely concerned that he go to a good home. When my husband ask her how much he was, her first response was, you want him? She ask my husband are you sure you want him? We provided her a cage to put him in, so that she did not have to hold him while we were finishing up, but instead she opted to hold him for about thirty minutes while we got change and a couple of supplies that we needed. That rooster seemed perfectly fine being held, he showed no aggression at all. When we past by her with our supplies, she said again "your not ready for him yet are you?" We told her we had to put our things in the car and would be right back. She did finally turn him over to us, again asking that he go to a good home. We put him in the car in his cage and he laid down for the ride home. He did not make a sound. When we got him home and all settled in, he let out his first crow. That made me feel better, he had been so quite on the way home. He had a great first night. Got some great pictures of him. Told you he was beautiful. He is a Golden Phoenix, more of an ornamental chicken, for show, as you can see in the pictures below.
