So I just realized today that one of my 16 week old Auracanas is a rooster, not the hen I had ordered from the hatchery. The other 28 assorted chickens are all hens, exactly as ordered, but this handsome devil popped in there somehow. (Oops...)
I DO NOT WANT FERTILIZED EGGS!
What do I do? I don't have a separate pen/coop to separate him from the hens. I'm not really all that keen on turning him into fried chicken yet either - he is becoming rather handsome after all. So is there a way to keep him around without him doing his dirty deed with the ladies?
Thanks,
Big Charlie
