Hey, thanks for volunteering! I'm not in a real big hurry yet. Was planning on trying to hold on to him til he's fully grown unless he's 100% going to be safe from the big boys.
Yea, you're about an hour and a half from us. I'd surely be willing to meet up with you. I was sifting through some of your posts/threads and see you've sold a few roosters. Are you planning on keeping him or re-homing? Sorry, I have to ask. We want to be sure he's going to a permanent safe home!
My boyfriend's mom is looking around on facebook. I don't have one. I'm a bit skiddish about craigslist so haven't checked. We've come across some crazy people when hiring for a job lol.

I hatched out excess roos and then I bought some copper marans that were mostly roos. I generally hold them until either I see they can get along or find a new home for them. The marans are highly desirable for farm flock roos because they are fairly gentle and well mannered, my bosses' family took all of them. I often will add a hen to help sell a roo, this helps me place them -- definitely not making a profit, here. I am mainly offering in case you have to get rid of him and don't have any options. This is a farm and mine is a farm flock, sounds like you are wanting more of a pet home. I have had good luck on CL with chickens especially if it's a lone roo because some people start with hens and later find that they want a roo. The only time I have stewpot buyers interested is when I have a half dozen or more advertized, most of the stewpot people are actually coming from NO and it's not worth the drive for less than a 1/2 dozen or more. Best wishes on rehoming, if you get in a bind with the town and have to move him fast, let me know.
Did you look for any rooster/animal sanctuaries for him? Might be worth a search.

Ahh, I see now. That's cool. I wish I lived out in the country! My bf's mom is big into the local animal rescue community and she's not even having much luck. Yes, hoping to find him a spot as a pet or a male for someones flock but I also understand how things can go depending on his behavior. As of now he's a sweety but that can change with maturity. Also if someone wants him for food, that's fine too, just let him live out his life and take him out when he's an old man. Not sure that's how it works though. They're butchered young I think. I'll check out Craigslist and see if I have any luck. Will also talk with my hunny this evening and see what he thinks. I appreciate your help very much. Thank you 😊
