Hello there! I am located in Dayton, Ohio (45370) and have some free 13 week old cockerels available. more info and pics of them below:
I have some mixed heritage breed cockerels that I am trying to re-home that I hatched from eggs 13 weeks ago. They are sweet boys, I just have too many roosters from the hatch and can't keep them all. I butchered a bunch of the mean ones and am now trying to find homes for the ones that are nice to the hens and people. They have been partially free ranging (within electric netting that gets moved once a week) since they were six weeks old and have been fed Grubblies starter/grower feed and lots of fresh greens and fruits their whole life. They're happy and healthy!!
Here are the three I have available for free:
1.Standard sized rooster, I have no idea what mix he is, but he's very pretty. If I had to guess I would say EE crossed with some kind of single comb breed. He is really nice to humans and other chickens. I rarely see him fighting like the other cockerels do and he never grabs pullets by the neck like some of mine started doing before I butchered them. He has not started crowing yet so probably not sexually mature yet.
2. Bantam rooster, probably a cochin bantam/EE cross based on feather feet and bantam size, but with peacomb. Sweet to hens and people. Already crowing
3. Bantam rooster, I have no idea what mix he could be. Maybe part polish crested because of the head tuft but that is a complete guess. sweet to people, slightly rough with other cockerels but good with the pullets. Already crowing.
