Thanks for the really great ideas, but I'm not on any social media platforms (FB, IG, TicTok, X, etc., etc., etc). Needless to say, BYC is about as "social" as I get. 🥹 Is there one "social media" platform in particular and the name(s) of the "chicken enthusiasts" groups I can search on?
I have 2 cockerels (that were purchased as pullets!!) I've been trying to place ever since they were identified as cockerels (over a month ago). The hatchery was no help, even though these chicks were supposedly identifiable/sexed at hatch!! They have some crazy 90% accuracy rule, that doesn't...
Thanks for taking a peek at this post. I'm in need of rehoming 2 Black Australorp cockerels that are 11 weeks old today (9/26/2025). They were purchased in a group of pullets, but alas turned out to be Cockerels. :(
They are handled daily (moving from indoor enclosure to outdoor run) so are...

Also, thanks for that link ... though it didn't take me...
Thanks for asking. I'm about 90 minutes away, but willing to travel.
As for reason for rehoming, I purchased too many chicks. I have 12 older girls and thought I needed to start replenishing ... though the older ones are only giving me an egg a day (total, not each) they're healthy. I'm now...
Thank you. I tried TSC. Staff didn't know anyone and only suggested I "post it on bulletin board". Went looking for the bulleting board ... its tucked way in the back of the store, on wall down a hallway leading to the bathrooms. Not a high profile spot and won't be noticed unless folks...
Hope everyone is have a great late summer like we are in W-NW GA.
