Some of my favorite chickens are . I guess your husband and I are kindred spirits. Lol.I've already surrendered to the rooster gods. My fate is to be stuck with them.
I once gave 17 cockerels to a friend because her husband wanted to grow them out for meat. 3 years later they still have them! He just fell in love with them.
They have even more now. They free range the roosters and keep their hens and chicks in the runs. Thank goodness they don't have close neighbors.
