My hen hatched chicks. What do we do if we get to may roosters besides butcher

[chickenlover8969]

so basicly we can not butcher them so are there anyways to give them away???

Give them away to people for free. There are many people who would gladly take a free roo for making dinner.

You can try giving them away, but even then sometimes it's practically impossible to move them along.

There's little chance you'd find a home for them, who won't butcher them anyways. Maybe someone, somewhere, has a flock who's lost their rooster and they need a new one. Very rare. More likely, you could take them to a livestock auction (call around; most have auction days for poultry or other small animals). Where they'll be sold to someone who will maybe keep one, and of course butcher the rest.

As a long shot, you could try to find an animal sanctuary somewhere that will take them in.
