I Will butcher them..I mean, it isn't like it would be easy to re-home 13-14 roosters.
Is there anyone near you who would take one, or is it better for you to butcher them?

I'm going by comb size. For 1 month old it's big, even for a meat bird.Why you think 13 is male, I always count this one as female? Asking because I want know how you decide who is male
Why wouldn’t it work? Just curious. I used to have a yard full of unwanted roos. That was before Marek’s and a huge predator attack.I should so not be using Backyard Chickens. Every time I see someone with more roosters than they can deal with, I want those roosters.
If I had my own way, my yard would be full of unwanted roosters. Which wouldn't work.
I feel like I should tell everyone their roosters are pullets.
Sorry to hear about that.That was before Marek’s and a huge predator attack.

Yeah, you would definitely need a bachelor pad if you wanted anymore roos. Next time I think I’ll get all of mine from the same place so I won’t have to worry about introducing any diseases to them.A LOT of reasons. For a start I only have 7 hens. I have two roosters. And I don't have enough sheds for any more. (Although I am thinking of building another one.)
And also my dad wouldn't let me have the amount I want.
I also have three chicks at the moment. Which I am suspicious of. They're only 2 and 1 week old, but the two older ones are acting manly.
Me and my mum would fill the place up. (We kind of already have) My dad is more practical.
I could never do that, but I understand.I hatch chicks with the intent of eating the roosters. I sell the pullets to make up for feeding my roosters to eating age. I do feel bad that is their fate but I treat them nicely up until their end.
