Welcome to BYC!!!
I have the same questions as the others. Do they free range and do they currently fight now?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
I have successfully rehomed or sold 7 cockerels using Craigslist and local FB Poultry groups. Take the best pictures you can of the cockerel you are trying to rehome taking into consideration the background and create the post. It takes time. Good luck.

Yes I would definitely pursue some local Facebook groups to rehome your extra boy.

Welcome to BYC! So glad you decided to join us!

With your little amount of hens, you could run into problems, but if you free range your birds they might have enough space to work it out.

Or you could build another coop, and have a second flock, or a batchlor flock (an all rooster flock).

Depending on both of their attitudes, it could work with your current setup, but you need to be careful of overmating.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Cockerels are a dime a dozen. Good luck trying to rehome some.
