6 month old Barred Rock in need of a new home. When we adopted 4 hatch-lings, we were expecting 4 hens. One turned out to be a rooster, and I tried reaching out to the store we purchased them from to see what they do in these situations and the employee made it sound like this has NEVER happened before and had absolutely no protocol in place. That being said, we decided to give raising a rooster a shot. Things started out fine until he got to mating age in July. He's become more and more difficult to be around. I'm 7 months pregnant, and cannot tend to them because he's constantly after people. Again, we didn't anticipate raising a rooster and it's just not working out with him. We think he would do better with a larger flock of hens. He tends to be more aggressive in the morning after coming out of the coop, and is much better later in the day. We're desperate to re-home him. I would hope to help find a new home for him, but any advice would be great. My husband and I live in Roanoke, Virginia. Thanks in advance.
