Franklin and Theodore Roostervelt I have two buckeye roosters and I'd like to give one or both away. They have been non-aggressive with me, but for 12 hens, they are just too much. I raised them from chicks from Privett this spring. I could not tell you if they are close enough to the SOP...

My spring chicks just started laying but they went into an odd area that I didn't check regularly. I found four eggs there - the oldest they could be is 4 days (if only one of them has started laying). It's been upper 80's during the day, mid-40's at night. Would you toss them? I hate to...
