I did not mention earlier on this thread that at one point, I had 1 RIR rooster and 4 EE pullets all fitting comfortably on the one roosting bar of the small Snap Lock every night. This was before they started laying but they were all basically full grown. I guess if you have a flock that gets...

This is great to hear. I might be interested in doing this next spring. Glad to see a fellow Louisianian accomplish this.

Unfortunately, no. I could not find him a place after looking for a long time, so I just gave hime to someone who killed him and ate him for dinner. It was about a week ago. Still feeling sad about it, but at least now my 4 EE pullets are not being roughed up multiple times daily.

Does the new owner want another rooster? I have a pretty large RIR rooster that's a year old and just a bit too large for my small flock of 4 EE pullets. I have someone coming by this Saturday to take him for the soup pot, but it would be nice to see him instead relocated to a new home where he...

Anyone want to take my 9-month-old RIR rooster and 9-month-old EE? She lays 6 eggs a week. I would like to see them got a good home where they can stay together since the EE is terribly attached to her "hubby". I only want to get rid of them because she is the alpha female, and when the...

I do still have him, and I think our neighbors might have gotten to be okay with his crowing in the morning. I am going to try and keep him for now until I hear any complaints, but I have asked the people around my house if he's bothering them, and they said it wasn't too much of a problem as...

Sorry to keep posting on this thread about this, but I need to get rid of a 5 month old RIR roo. In my previous posts, I was trying to see to it that he wold be re-homed, but at this point, I really need to get rid of him, so I'll resort to giving him to someone who will use him for a meal. If...

Bump. Is there anyone who can think of how I can find a new home for my rooster? Only reason I can't keep him is because he's too loud and my neighbor's houses are close due to my smallish suburban backyard.

I'm looking to buy some albendazole to supplement a bottle of wazine 17 I already have acquired. Lots of people seem to be recommending Valbazen brand, but it's really expensive and I only have 5 chickens, so it will probably expire before I get to use even half the bottle. I searched amazon...

I have a beautiful and very friendly RIR rooster that I need to find a new home for. He's crowing early in the morning, and since I live on a small lot in Metairie, he's disturbing the neighbors. I hope he can go to a good home and that he won't be eaten. He's very friendly and will hop up on...

Hello all, I have a Formex Snap Lock coop (the smaller of the two models), and I was wondering how many Easter Eggers I could fit in it. The coop is advertised to house up to 4 large chickens, but it's my understanding that Easter Eggers are somewhat medium sized/smallish birds when they're...

If there's anyone around or willing to drive to Jefferson Parish (Metairie to be exact), I have a sweet and adorable juvenile Rhode Island Red rooster that I sadly have to give away to a good home. He's 2.5 months old, and we were hoping he was a female since we got him at a few days old, but...
