    Bantam Roos

    We have too many roos. I am looking to sell or rehome 3 Bantam roos to make room for more hens. See pics below. I am new to all this and don't know how to ship, sorry. They were hatched the last week of March, 2015. These pics are a few months old, they are much more filled out now.
