Agreed, send him to freezer camp...

I have 3 Cornish Bantam roosters that need to go. All are 10-11 weeks old. All are red laced I think. Pick-up in Rockport (on the coast outside of Corpus)

I have had an ad on CL for 2 weeks now, 7 assorted 9 week Bantam roos for $20. Have not had a single reply. I know it is the area I am in, there are chickens everywhere. At less than $3 each, I hoped they would go to somebody who could use them. Still here in a week, it will be off to freezer...

Chicken racists!! Get a BIG flock of hens, and maybe the neighbors will move....

Did any of them have egg on their face?

I thought they are roos. Not a bad thing, I have 2 more dark that look like pullets and 3 more red laced that look like pullets. Thanks again.
