What do you think, hen or roo?
I love the feather patterns! No idea if its a hen or roo, do you have a preference?
Thanks! I don’t really mind either way, but I already have a roo (his/her father) so I’m kinda hoping for a hen, that way I’m more sure they’ll get along. If it does turn out to be a roo though, he’ll go live with my parents who are currently roosterless.
I reared my current roo by hand as well and he’s an absolute sweetheart.
Follow-up: turned out to be a roo and he was very tasty!
Just kidding, he’s actually a great pet, follows me around like a dog and loves playing. Named him Goji, short for Gojira.
OMG I have a rat named Goji/Gojira too! I’m glad he’s a good boy and you didn’t eat him!
I’ve reared chickens my entire adult life and I’ve never eaten any of them, just their eggs. I’m not even vegetarian but I can’t bring myself to kill something I invested love and care in earlier. Luckily I’m not a prepper.
