    HELP!! Eggs cold (50 degrees) for 18+ hours

    2 Roosters Arizona, Scottsdale Area

    Hi there, I need a new home for two roos. They came in a group of pullets that were "supposed" to be girls. :) If anyone within 25 miles is interested in taking them, I'd be happy to bring them to you. Only one is crowing, and I'm 99.99999% the other is also a boy. Thanks! -Rachel
