I sent you a PM already

If they are still with you by next weekend, absolutely yes I will take them and my family will appreciate it immensely.

I think this would be excellent wording for a CL ad!!
I rehomed a rooster that I'd written a lengthy advertisement for, pictures included. I'd paid almost $50 to have him shipped to me just a month or so earlier, and he just did not work out at our place. I offered him for free to a good home, specifying I wanted him to have a flock of hens and space to roam. I still knew in the back of my head that he could end up stew, and like others have said, I just really didn't want to know if that was the case. I figure there are worse things that could happen to a rooster than feeding a family...

There is an add that runs on CL all year that they take large chickens, no matter how old just need to be full grown. They pay $2 per bird, yes they eat them. I have used them to get rid of extra roosters and maybe some older hens next year, I have a call into them right now for my BO roo that no one wants.

So I am happy to have this end use route.

If you search this forum, you will find a guy in Carpinteria CA that posts on craigslist that he will take a few roosters every week.

I can't remember how he words it, but you know he is eating them. Because you have to pay up to $15 locally to have your rooster packed and ready for freezer camp-if you have roos you don't want to pack for camp....it is a deal.

And he gets a lot of free dinners!

Can you have them all meet you in a public place to cut driving time?

I've had jerk roos that I was happy to drive "off" to their new "home"

Taking this one step further, and hopefully not hijacking the OP, how young would you take them? You could get a lot of freebie young roos that people just don't want to raise further than the point they can sex. [Yeah, I am thinking of those 6 leghorn roos that are a mere 3 weeks old. How do I dispose of them?] I don't see that as any different than ordering an all roo assortment from the hatchery.

hmm well then it becomes of a question of the value of feeding them /raising them for me...A lot of extra work but....but I have been very very interested in trying my hand at caponizing. Once again I would be honest with the folks I was buying the baby roos from that they would be going to freezer camp once they were big enough. I probably wouldn't mention if they were the appropriate age to try it I would caponize them. That is down the road though. I don't have the medical supplies for it and I certainly haven't examined the step by illustrations to the point where I am comfortable trying it yet.

I guess I would be pretty open to taking most ages of roos. I wouldn't want a huge influx of young ones though until our permanent coop was built so our hens could be in there home and I could convert our current coop into something appropriate to house a bunch of young roos..​
