My colleague, Sandy, recently took her father to visit our (Prudential Georgia Realty) garden plot at Harvest Farm. When she proudly showed him the hens, he quickly pointed out that Lavender was no hen. Lavender turned out to be a rooster!! Sandy's father knew!!!
Here's an email from Chantez Daya, Chair of Harvest Farm Community Garden about what happened to Lavender (Larry):
Hello Harvest Farm Gardeners,
You all may know by now that our beautiful Lavender Oprington hen, initially named Lavender, turned out to be "Larry" when it was discovered he was actually a rooster. Larry was a beautiful rooster and some of us actually heard him crowing! Since Larry is a rooster and our agreement with the City was that we would raise hens only, we had to find another home for Larry. We are glad to inform you that Larry has been relocated to a wonderful petting farm in Grayson, GA. Larry grew into a beautiful robust rooster in such a short time, which shows how well he and the other hens have been cared for by all the volunteer families - So a big thanks to all involved! We've even gotten our first set of eggs!
