Hi I bought 7 chicks back in may and a little concerned that 2 may be roosters. Although I can have roosters I can't keep them because my neighbors wouldn't be happy with crowing. How do you go about rehoming them? Thanks for any help.

Unwanted roosters find a home on my grill.
Okay, I'm guessing that's not an option for you (although for the life of me, I'll never understand why some people refuse to eat their own poultry). You might try giving them away on craigslist, I see this all the time.

I think because some have a small amount of chickens they raise and they become pets. Some may not have the heart to eat their pet. People get chickens for different reasons. Mine was clear from the beginning, a learning experience for my children, to raise a small flock of chickens for eggs. I think culling a pet that my children have come to love would be a traumatic experience for them given the fact that they are so young. Just my feeling on it..nothing personally.

I know...you are right,but even with small flocks the need tends to arise to either rehome or butcher.It definitely depends on each individuals situation.I find myself in a situation as well right now with extra bantam roos...darn those cute little guys! but they are so small,I hardly feel it's worth it to butcher so CL it is *sigh*
