Sadly my black langshan rooster has to go. He is GOOD roo, he does not crow, flog, does not have spurs, in general isnt possesive over his flock. However, he picked up one of my bantams by the neck and shook her, which in unacceptable. However, my hens his size have never had any issues with him, he is polite to them.

He would do well with one hen or a flock, he is NOT possessive at all and I have several non-poultry animals running around in the chicken yard with no problems.

I got him at the beginning of July as a two day old, so he is about 5 months old. He has a little silver wynadotte thrown in, or so we guess. He looked like a wynadotte baby, then grew, still has some silver streaking and not the perfect langshan body tyoe. So unfortunately, he will not make it in a show.

He is free, I will drive wherever in California to drop him off (I live in Santa Barbara), I just want him to go to a good non-bantam home that wont eat him right away.

When he was 4 months old:

Unfortunately I am a little far from Santa Barbara. My Barnevelder rooster is about 8 1/2 months old, and a little "uncouth". He beat up my head hen, to the point where I built another coop for her (and a companion) to live in - the "Nunnery". With his other wives he is still a bit rough, though not homicidal, but I hope he will grow out of that. He is gorgeous, and I really like having a rooster here. If he doesn't grow out of his rough ways he will have to go .... and then I would wish that I lived closer to S.B., and your handsome fellow. Good luck in finding him a home.

:lol: I think they do, actually :lol: However, I plan to give Piet another chance - he really is a handsome fellow!
If ever I were to decide to live in Southern California I would definitely choose Santa Barbara or somewhere in the neighbourhood. I'm a Central Coast (Monterey Peninsula) gal, born and bred, but S.B. is certainly lovely, and the Santa Inez valley ... oh well, I really do love Oregon ;)
