A Goodbye to My Chickens and This Community

Order sexed chicks of an auto sexing breed.Its the only way to go if you don't want a bunch of cockerels and risk getting attached to them. Keeping hens without a rooster is best when you don't want your eggs fertilized or risk hatching cockerels

Yeah for sure! In the future that's my plan. It's just in my scenario we got the chick from a family friend who also got them from other people, and had no idea whether they'd be cockerels or pullets, so we definitely knew the risk, but didn't anticipate all 6 to be cockerels hahaha.

I'm sorry and hope you can raise more chickens one day. Hopefully you will continue being a member here and share stories of your pets perhaps? Wishing you the best!

Yeah I may do that I have a shiba inu puppy. Thanks for the well wishes.

It's so unfortunate that you ended up in such a situation. But keeping chickens can change from a pleasant experience to something quite stressful when you have adverse circumstances . I'm glad you were able to rehome them, and hope that sometime in the future you'll be able to try again and have better luck.
