Rooster needed (Philly mainline suburbs)

[FarmerTash]

Hi all,

We have 6 ISA brown hens that are almost ready to leave the brooder for the coop full time. We plan on free ranging them on our 13 acre farm in the daytime, and locking them up in the coop at night. I bought only hens from TSC because I was nervous about getting more than 1 Roo in the group, but would really love to adopt a rooster to help watch out for them.

The girls are 7 weeks old now, and they need a man! Not picky about breed but not bantam, and something on the more docile side since we have two small boys.

Hey! I'm in the Huntingdon Valley area and have 14 birds who are almost 3 weeks old. My coop is only meant for 9 so I need to find homes for the extras (I didn't think they would all live!) All bought as pullets but I am sure there must be a boy in there somewhere- will let you know in a couple of weeks and you are welcome to have him! No bantams

Thank you! I’ll follow up with you in a few weeks

I have two roos that need rehoming basically yesterday, haha. They’re healthy, big boys, 2 1/2 months. Kermit has got a set of lungs on him. Benatar is much sweeter... not the guardian type but very very handsome.

Both are Barnyard mix

Hi! Found a rooster yet? Right now I’m suspecting two of mine to be roos and will probably be able to tell better in a week or so. One is a blue cuckoo marans, the other is a barred rock. Both are incredibly sweet but the barred rock is also proactive when the others are in “danger” so would probably be better for free range!
