Hello & Welcome to BYC!!!

It's great to have you here. What a lovely variety you have! For rehoming roos, I suggest an auction.
 
Greetings & Salutations. Welcome.

You can also check fb for poultry and/or livestock groups in your county and close by, for rehoming/selling. We have worked with a local Mennonite family in helping us with some of the excess cockerels over a couple of years. Once I traded 2 cockerels for a pullet. 19-20 wks, and they allowed me to purchase one ($10 or $11) as I did not want to introduce a single pullet.

I also have needed to cull a few.

This is a wonderful site on which to Learn and enjoy. We are pleased to have you in the community.
