    I need to get rid of 5 young roosters in SW Florida

    Well, we tried keeping all of the ones we hatched in December, but it isn't going to work out. The cockerels are getting too fiesty, beating up on my girls, and their 'dad' roo, who has always been a sweet thing, is getting nasty. I also think that my coop and run isn't big enough for all of...
