I keep forgetting things...
If you do get these guys and like them, try posting an ad on Craiglist saying you'll take unwanted, healthy roosters and chickens for the intent of food. I can dig up the text of my old ad if you'd like. This is how I got started last year with getting roosters. I find it was a LOT easier putting the ad out and letting people contact ME knowing what the deal was, than to go on a goose chase for feeling to determine if those free chickens would be going to a non-food home or if the owner was ok with them being food.
I'm trying to think back, and I think I've gotten about 20 or 30 chickens now that way, all free.
