Free red and white mottled bantam rooster for a good home

This one is outside PhyTu’s usual plant-and-garden lane, but he deserves a proper introduction.

A white bantam boy splashed with chestnut and deep red across the back and saddle, with speckled breast feathering, heavily feathered legs, and a large bright comb. The pattern is unique to him — no two mottled birds mark the same way.

He is the flock-watcher: head up, on alert, and quick to call the others in when something moves overhead.

Bantam roosters do well in small backyard flocks and compact runs. He is used to being outdoors with other birds, and to people moving around him. He will crow — please make sure your city or HOA allows roosters before requesting him.

Local pickup only — Bellevue, WA. He is free to a good home; the listing exists so pickup can be scheduled and so we know who each bird went to. One free rooster per home, per order.
