Rooster needs home-Maine

[Unpenned Hen]

thanks for all the advice/help. I really appreciate it. I think I will try to go to chickenstock. It sounds like a great idea!

(My dad would love to eat some... but the silkies are too small and fuzzy. He teases me all the time.)

I also live in Maine- but I have a suggestion to try to shut up your roo that might work elsewhere, too

.

one of our roosters was constantly waking us up at 4AM. not okay. We started putting him in the old chick brooding box- which is plywood about 4'x2.5'x2.5' at night and putting a heavy blanket over the top so he can't see daylight. (there are air holes on the side.) He certainly doesn't love it, but I love sleeping, so... he's basically lucky he didn't become dinner.

and it makes a difference for us anyway.
