removing my roo from the flock. any advice?

[surfchicken72]

Well the time has come. he was an "accident" from the local place we got the chicks, and we knew once the crowing started he'd have to go... darn shame... he's a majestic creature..
anything that should be done before we remove him?
(Currently seeking a new home for him)

Will the hens miss him? Anything I should be worried about with the ladies once he's gone?

I sure will miss him "rounding up the girls" when they wander, and his ever watchful eye on the skies for birds of prey.
(can you tell I don't want to lose him?

)

here is is in all his glory...
and the wife not wanting to let him go

I'm so sorry that you have to re-home him.

I love my roosters dearly.
There may be a bit of fussing on the part of your hens once he's gone, as they jockey for the top spot or there may not be. One of your hens will undoubtably take over the role as protector.

He's lovely and must be friendly. Is he a BR? Are you having trouble finding him a home?

 

[surfchicken72]

he is indeed a BR. 15 weeks or so.... he is friendly, for the most part.

We are just starting the process of finding him a home today.
Going to post a pic of him at the grain store we got him from.
