Rehomed two roosters today

[Equus5O]

I did some flock management today, and rehomed two roosters.

Out of a flock of 10 chickens, I had two Rhode Island Red-Leghorn cross roosters and two Silky roosters.

Yesterday, I bit the bullet and posted fliers with pictures at the local supermarket and at Agway.

Today, a lovely local woman purchased one of my Silkies and adopted a free Rhode Island Red-Leghorn cross. I advertised the cross bred for adoption because I wasn't sure if anyone would want to actually pay for a cross bred. I didn't know any better when I bought him.

I told her about BYC, and she seemed excited about it! If Laura from Northern NJ signs up, she heard about it from me! LOL

I will miss my boys, by the way

I wish you lived in middle Tennessee. I've been looking for a rooster for three weeks now!

Good grief Sally, I am another Sally and I just rehomed 9 roos in 3 days. I would have loved to meet you part way!

I still have 6 more, but there are 2 people interested. If they don't come through, I'll contact you. Bummer.

What type are you hoping for?


Equus50, it was so quiet the morning after the 3 noisy boys went away I couldn't sleep! I was on BYC at 3 a.m.!

SallyF-I live in Blue Ridge, Ga which is on the TN line and I need a home for a black silkie rooster that is approx 4 1/2 months if you are interested.

LOL I still have another RIR-Leghorn cross and another Silky. It's still noisy! It's the remaining cross boy that makes the majority of the noise. But, I'm not complaining. That's why I kept him.

My dad told me I had to pick one rooster and get rid of the rest. I can't choose at all. I love Mojojojo the best but Edward needs a little extra care with his crossbeak. Jasper can go he's a little brat and is mean to my hens. Ruddie has a new home, and my dad took Ralfie to his friends when I was asleep and now I miss him

He was a gorgeous EE. The rest already found new homes.
