Thank you all! I might have to update one of those numbers though. It looks like I may have to either find a home for a cockrel/rooster or send him to freezer camp. What do you usually do with male chickens you can't keep?

I rehome them.

Do you just put them for free on craigslist or marketplace?

I list for $5 on CL and I advertise them on local/regional FB Poultry groups as well. When I find someone that wants him and I know he's going to a good home, I decline the money. The money is only to keep the freezer fillers away. If I ever have a mean boy, I will not deny the freezer fillers access to him as that is the most practical solution for human aggressive males.
