3 Cockerels. What do I do?

[Mrs. K]

Rehoming sounds wonderful, and if you can do it, problem solved. Often times it is impossible to re-home them. Often times if you have someone come get them, they will butcher them.

So if you are determined not to cull them, should really only buy sex linked birds. Then someone else has done the culling for you.

Roosters are were the romance meets reality. And chicken reality is sometimes rather ugly.

That's because our previous cockerels/roosters wore no-crow collars that allowed us to keep them but since these ones are too small for them, it would cause us problems if someone heard the crowing.

So you are not allowed to have roosters? In that case the decision on which to keep is easy - NONE. One male can be noisy enough, keeping multiples results in crowing competitions.

No reason to risk a fine or someone complaining enough that ALL chickens are banned for EVERYONE.

Well, I really don't care what you think. My birds, my decision.

Then perhaps you should not post threads asking "what to do?"

I couldn't agree more!

SMH. Nice(not).

So why ask?

You literally pitched a fit in your other thread wanting to know gender so you could rehome them ASAP. Now you can tell, and you want to keep one? Your choice. Stop asking for help if you don’t want it, please.

I went and read that other thread.

It seems rather irresponsible to even think of keeping any males when the neighbors have complained enough that police have threatened to remove ALL chickens.
