Hey, chickenblr! Some of you may recall that I have an awesome little bantam rooster named Corporal!

Well, as chickens will do, he procreated this year. Out of the resulting 11 chicks, a surprisingly low number of 3 ended up being male. As I have learned from past experience, once these guys decide they can kick their dad’s butt, they absolutely will and will do it thoroughly and with vigor. Corporal nearly died before I was able to intervene with his two previous sons, Dee and Dum. I still have these two; they free range with my full size flock and aren’t in with my bantams (and I’d be happy to adopt them out to willing parties! Hit me up for info) .

Anyway, these lads need homes! I live in southeastern Pennsylvania, and am quite willing to drive a reasonable distance to see the fellows have good homes.

First up we have this guy:

He shares an uncanny resemblance to Corporal, though he’s got shiny black feathers instead of Corporal’s blue. He’s a looker!

Next up we have:

This mighty fine boy sports some beautiful rich amber, gold, and rust feathers, plus a head crest and EXTRA TOES on each foot, which are a testamate to his partial Silkie heritage.

Lastly, there is:

This photo-shy kid has some ridiculously long tail feathers! Like, whoa they are loooong. He, too, has a cute head crest, and he shares his dad’s beautiful orange and blue plumage.

All three boys are a bit shy, though if given a few days of positive reinforcement and attention, I’m sure they’d be friendly little men. I got them milling around near me without fuss just by putting some grass clippings in their run.
