Description
For a loving kind forever home only.
Merlin is tame, easy to pick up and cuddle as well as in love with my gold silkie who is now raising his chick indoors (see photo).
I carry him and his dad indoors every night and out every morning, but the vocal competition between them has become a problem..
Raised on organic pellets, he has ‘growers’ for breakfast indoors (to limit the calcium
he gets from sharing the hens layers pellets in the run). They all get fresh veg and health-building treats like blueberries, black oil Sunflower seeds, unhulled sesame seeds and mixed corn. Water is supplemented with Oregano Stim, apple cider vinegar with the mother and occasionally vit B, organic whenever possible. So he is extremely healthy and fit.
Ĥome hatch. Recently treated prophylactically against worms with Flubendazole and Coccidia with Amprolium. Healthy small flock (my babies!).
Housed in a walk in Omlet run sectioned off as he cannot be near his dad any more.
Hatched June 27th 2025.
His blue is from his blue araucana dad and his shimmering gold hackle and saddle feathers are from mum.
Dad is purebred British tailed bearded blue Araucana. Mum is half buff Orpington and half Cream Crested Legbar dad and she lays jade green eggs. So he carries the blue egg gene from both parents.
Merlin’s Legbar grandad also handed down some pretty barring in Merlin's gold feathers and gave him his floppy comb, which does not seem to bother his vision.
Merlin is a very loved pet. Looking to find a loving and safe new home where he will always get veterinary care if ever needed.
Please send info and pics about your set up and your intentions for him.
Prepared to travel a reasonable distance from Bournemouth for the right home and if you are close enough I will bring him to you myself.
Price is only to attract genuine interest.
Merlin is good natured and ideal for a family country back garden.
He has a classic crow.
Any questions welcome.
Thank you for reading x
