Silkie roosters

[Jamieknitts]

Hi everyone. I have been raising backyard chickens since 2009. Last year after losing the last of our girls, we decided that we would try raising silkies. I bought what was supposed to be a sexed run ( now I know determining silkie sex is very difficult) of beautiful silkies. To our surprise 4 were roosters. We have raised them and handled them daily. They do well together. Our little girls love them. Our problem comes in that the neighbors recently sold their home and the new neighbors less than love them. I did have a gentleman who does shows say he would take them but it’s a 6 hour drive one way for me and he missed 2 meets. So I gave up on that and decided to keep them until now. I am looking to rehome them to a home where they will be treated well. I am terrified they will fall in the wrong hands. If anyone is interested please let me know. We are in North east pa

Is the crowing what's irritating your neighbors? Have you tried a no-crow collar?

Yes it is and I did. The problem was one of them was able to get the collar around it’s beak. Broke the beak. I nursed him back over the course of 2 weeks.
