Last fall I got 50 Buff Orpington pullets and 5 rooster chicks from McMurray. I sold off most of the pullets except for a dozen and still had 4 of the 5 roosters. At the feed store was an ad on the wall for someone wanting a Buff rooster and 4 roosters are way too many! I called them and a woman and her young daughter who happen to live at the other end of the road I live on stopped by. Caught them a rooster and they asked how much. I told them to just take him.


Well, today I got a computer generated card in the mail with a picture of a huge Buff rooster, a little girl and a ribbon as big as the rooster! He won top prize at the county fair!

I remember seeing him there with that ribbon and noticing what a nice rooster that was. How fun that he came from Deberosa originally - through the destroyed hoop house in the horrible storm where I had to rescue him and all the others and everything!

Well, I think that is just awesome!

Buff Orpingtons are beautiful . I have one myself, a huge rooster who likes to make my life miserable when I go out there.

Looks like you are raising show chickens now,too!

Just think what you have done. Sharing your (our) love of farm life with another generation. This young lady has her reward for raising a beautiful animal. Kudos to you for sharing with her.

Just goes to show, one man's "trash" is another man's "treasure". Those roosters can truly be the bane of one's existence - good thing this guy is redeeming himself!
