I volunteer once a week at a Boulder-area birds of prey rehabilitation organization (Birds of Prey Foundation), one of the more well-regarded such organizations in the country.
I don't want to offend anyone who considers their chickens to be pets... but I know that people living in cities with ordinances barring roosters sometimes don't know what to do when that cute chick turns up to have a waddle.
Birds of Prey Foundation is desperate for food for their raptors - they have had record numbers of injured and sick birds this year - and said that they would welcome any donations of roosters that urban chicken owners can't keep.
Visit their website to learn more: http://www.birds-of-prey.org/. Feel free to send me a note to find out more, I can put you in touch with the right person there.
These are really amazing wild animals, and you'd be helping out an important conservation effort.
