I have two friendly red sex-link roosters in need of a home. They are about three and a half months old, and are the sweetest little guys that have ever been born. They cuddle, follow people around, and love being a part of a family. I hand raised them since they were a couple of days old, and...
I know it's not practical to just have them put down, but I am too attached to them for them to become someone's dinner. The thought makes me feel sick to my stomach. I'm going to try and find a home for them, and if I can't I'm not going to disrespect them by allowing someone to eat them. It's...
