    12 week old rooster

    Anyone in the Nasville Tennessee area in need of an Austrolorp rooster? We’re hoping someone wants him for their flock instead of food 🫣. Our latest batch of chicks gave us 5 roosters. We’re going to try and keep 2, and rehomed 2, but still have one more. He’s the one in the middle here.
