New bee

[Toomanyroosinca]

Hello from sunny California
About a 3 months ago, our rooster flew off to the neighbors to find a new hen because our old one died . We went and got him back and also got a hen or two from the neighbor. Well we have so many new chicks and a lot of roosters too. The original rooster was a deal from a friend. A supposedly fighting cock, very beautiful rooster. Now we have about 6 of his his sons and we are trying to sell them before they get too aggressive. What to do! How much to charge, etc.

Welcome to BYC.
Where about in California are you located?
There is a current ban on moving chickens in certain areas.
You may have to hold on to the chicks for a while.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
That's one of the issues with hatching eggs. You will have cockerels to deal with. And as mentioned, if you are in the quarantine area, you may have a real problem. Good luck.

Welcome to BYC, and good luck in getting rid of those cockerels - it can be a problem.
