Is anyone interested in my hand raised, well socialized, silky roosters?

So I am very new to the site and new to chickens,
I have 10 chickens, 9 Silkes and 1 Barred rock. 4 of my silkies are roosters, they are very mellow, only one even acts like a rooster. I am looking to get rid of at least 2 of my roosters to good homes. They are beautiful, I have a silver, white, black with gold feathers these are the three I am willing to part with. Lister, my favorite is a weird awkward bird, black with HUGE maroon skin flaps, he is so funny to watch.
Also, any advice on roosting, do they need to have a place to roost? My have just been sleeping in hay/shavings.
Thanks
Sammie from Maine.
 
Welcome to BYC, when you have 20 posts, you can participate in the BYC "Buy,sell, trade forum." Silkies tend to pile up on the floor rather than roost. Probably because their big crests and beards obscure their vision.

There are several dedicated Silkie threads at BYC, mainly by color - my favorite thread is just called "Silkie thread." Great way to learn more about silkies.
 
Thanks, I really hope I can find a good home for them, they are the sweetest roosters I have ever seen!

I'm glad you joined our community.

Drumstick Diva's given you some good advice. Good luck with your Silkies! I've never kept them myself, but they sure are cute.
