I live in Nashville and have had backyard chickens for almost 7 years now and in April we added to the flock with what, I was assured, were 3 pullets. We had been down the heartbreaking road about 3 years ago with hatching chicks ourselves and having to relocate several of our favs because they turned out to be roosters. Since then I have tried to be extra careful.
Anyway, my daughter and I recently went on vacation for 2 weeks while my husband held down the fort and we came home Sat evening to discover that our beloved 4mos old "Mabel" was a full fledged "rooster" (cockerel) and in need of not only a more masculine name but, sadly, a relocation. I dont wish to sell him but merely get him to a good home. He is sweet, social and very handsome but I know my neighbors will quickly get annoyed as he has found his voice. All of my resources from 3 years ago have moved on and sold their farms. Might you have any advice or recommendations on someone to reach out to who might be willing to take him. I will drive him to wherever he needs to go and throw in a bag of feed to help sweeten the deal
I appreciate ANY info you can send my way and thank you so much in advance for your time!!! I have attached a picture so you can see how beautiful he is
Thanks again!
