Crowing
I sell them as not meat and hope that is respected- most of the time it’s the same guy buying them thankfully. He gets them for breeding projects or reselling

I've found that most people who butcher on their own either raise the birds themselves or have a friend do it for them, sharing the associated costs. It's much more cost-effective. For the rest of the potential meat buyers, having to pay even a few dollars for a chicken means investing more than they would pay at WalMart for an oven-ready bird. They are preying on your heart - and your wallet - for a cheap meal.Then that's the market isn't it? If people pay money for meat at the store, why wouldn't you charge money for someone looking to butcher?
Beautiful birds! I'm right there with you! I hatched more than a hundred eggs and ended up with more than 20 roosters that I can't get rid of. And yeah they're loud and fussy and a pain in the butt but like you I raise them and that kind of really like them. Unfortunately I have found that there's an overall prejudice against roosters, I think it's because they're seen more of as a pain and a hassle than as a beautiful bird and a wonderful pet that's sometimes crows at 5:00 a.m. . But that's okay, cuz you're not alone in that. And it was compassion not to kill a bird because it was a rooster that brought about the whole discussion with my bird. So I really think roosters make wonderful pets, they're beautiful and they're almost always very unique and as your looks or behavior and I just think they are very underestimated and overlooked as a potential pet. Just because they like to sing?! Even if it isn't 5:00 a.m. They do like to Sing!!!So I let a broody hen hatch 5 chicks 5 months ago and 4 of them turned out to be roosters. I am open to rehoming them but I am a little attached because I raised them. They're not mean and already great with the hens. My ratio just doesn't allow for that many roosters.
I had someone say they'd take 2 of them but they wouldn't pay any money for them. What do you do? I would rather them not be someones dinner.

Oh All my roosters are Mutt roosters and I don't care who believes it or not. But me and many others think it's quite possible that one of these Mutt roosters may have laid an egg. And I know if you're reading this your first reaction is BS, look for the thread and read on some of the science behind this. Roosters have value other than their meat, kind of like people.Nobody wants a mutt rooster, so the best thing is to have a delicious healthy meal from him/them.
I've tried to keep roosters several times and they eventually all turn out to be a belly button.
They are fed very well and free range all day every day, until it's time to have them humanely taken care of.
I am so glad that cockfighting is unheard of around here.Then, there are those who think illegal cockfighting is good, plain fun.
I have heard of this before. There are definitely a bunch of cases of this brought up on here of hens that have male feathering but still lay eggs.Oh All my roosters are Mutt roosters and I don't care who believes it or not.

Yeah there seems to be a lot of it out there once you start looking. And I keep hearing more and more stories about not only birds but just about every other kind of critter that may have had a gender issue of some sort. It's all been very educational as well as interesting.I have heard of this before.
