Baby Rooster Wanted (Born this coming April or Early May 2018)

[TheUniqueChickenWhisperer]

Looking for baby rooster to go with our new flock that is arriving the beginning of May. We need a rooster the same age as our chicks that are going to be born May 1st. We are interested in Brahmas and Jersey Giants but we will look at other breeds too. Please only reply if you are hatching chicks that are going to be born late April/early May and near WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS. Thank you.

I would hold off for a couple reasons:
1. Sexing isn't 100% accurate so you may end up with a male in your chicks already
2. Males mature faster than females and will begin trying to mate with the females several months before they are ready, frustrating everyone.

Going to have to agree with you on that one.
Got 8 ameraucana chicks last year from a hatchery.. I was promised all pullets. Well, two of those 'pullets' were roosters. Unexpected but whatever, they're the top dogs now lol

I also concur.

Even if you find a breeder hatching during that time, I'm not sure you will find one that sexes chicks.
