I have two roosters to rehome. North texas, north of DFW area. They are free rangers, and full grown at 6 months.
Right now they're part of a small bachelor flock that free ranges during the day and roosts high up on top of the coop during the night. They fly up there themselves and basically take care of themselves. I just occasionally supplement their food with kitchen scraps.
They are pretty predator savvy too, we have multiple Hawks circling our area every day, and occasional coyotes and cats. They've never been sick. These are not high maintenance birds.
They are unvaccinated, they were part of a school project where they were hatched from eggs, and we picked them up at 1 week old.
They're great, but they're not so great around my toddlers (they like to circle around them, which makes my toddlers nervous).
1. Old English game was a bit of a ladies man until we locked up the poor hens. I'm not exactly a animal rights type of person, but even I felt it was a bit undignified for a hen to get mated by five different roosters all going for her at once. He's very beautiful, though his comb is a little floppy because it's so huge.
2. Mutt appears to be half-brothers with Old English Game, and the other half of him appears to be Light Sussex. He has the main colorings of the Old English Game, but his under fluff feathers are all white with a little bit of black. His body shape is between those two types. He's a plucky lad. We named him Sigma because a while he acted like the sigma male of the bachelor flock for a while, though now I think he is the third in command. Since he was 4 weeks old, my husband would catch and throw little grasshoppers at him and he would jump up and eat them. He still does that, tho now with big grasshoppers. It's really cute.
I'm hoping someone might be interested in them for breeding purposes. They're not vaccinated, they have been free-ranging since they were small, and they seem quite healthy and and have adorable personalities. I'll insert pictures if anyone is interested.
