Greetings, I am the father of a teenage girl who has been raising chickekns for a little over a year now. If anyone has children, I am sure that they would agree that once your child gets a hobby, you then become involved in that hobby, like it or not. So, you may have guessed it already, I am involved. I find raising chickens to be interesting and beneficial. As an avid gardener, I enjoy the compostable materials the chickens supply as well as the eggs. But I do have one problem, I have three young roosters that I need to find homes for. Any suggestions?

from SoMD! Although the chicken hobby is mine, not my kids', I know what you mean about it being addictive...

And you probably don't want to know what I do w/my extra roos

Hello

I'm new here myself and yup chickens sure are addictive. I'm glad you are enjoying your daughters hobby.. chickens can be a lot of fun. There are a couple of things you can do if you have extra cockerels or roosters. I have a freezer full of chicken

but if you don't feel comfortable doing that because they were/are considered "pets" you can always try to sell them or find them a new home on craigslist. That usually works pretty well from what I've heard. I hope it all works out for you

good luck finding them a new home!

Another thought on finding someone to take your extra roos is to find your state thread on here and post them there. Who knows? You might have a fellow BYCer within a few miles who would happily take them off your hands!
