    Too many Roosters - what do we do?

    I know the obvious response for many might be to eat chicken ... But we hatched the little guys are we are brand new to this ... Is their any other option? Also, which Roo do we keep? I'm leaning towards a fuzzy , very nonaggressive one ;he is the first to crow so I kind of feel like he...
