Good places to rehome accidental roosters?

I'm in Northern Ohio if your in Ohio i take in roo's that need rehomed if not look on your states feed and see if anyone takes in roosters

That's also a good idea! Thank you!

We've culled one ourselves but now my preferred option is "dinner donation" to a local farm that will take birds that are old enough to be eaten.

That sounds like a good, albeit slightly sad, idea. I"ll look for those. Thanks for the help!

On another thread you mention getting silkies? Unless you are getting sexed ones from MPC at a cost of $25-30 per chick you will end up with cockerels.

There is a local SPCA here that may take some in, if they have room, but for a donation of $150. I just take mine up to a poultry processor in NH.

I will be doing MPC. I'll pay for the silkie, because I know that it's an added expense that my parents don't need to pay for. I'm mostly worried because I know that there is only a 90% sexing guarantee on all chicks, and I couldn't bring myself to cull one of my birds.

Why not get fully adult birds from breeder?
