Welcome to BYC.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. I wonder if there is some 4H group that might be interested in your roosters as a project.

Hi everyone!
Help!!! I ended up with 4 roosters!
I already had one rooster (who is a jerk btw) and now that my chickens have grown 3 out of 5 are roosters.
So far (6 months old) they all seem to get along but I do know this will end up bad at some point. Any suggestions on what I should do? To summarize;
I have 12 chickens in total and 4 roosters.
Hrlp!
Thank you,
Jessica

We had somewhat of a similar issue. We got eleven chickens and four of them came out to be roosters. Our roosters were really mean to each other. Have yours started fighting yet? If not they will soon. You can either sell them on some online website, or you can leave the roosters you don't want somewhere far away from your house. If you were to leave them they would end up killing each other and that would not be good. I hope you find a solution to your problem. And welcome to BYC!

Dumping animals is EXTREMELY cruel, please never encourage somebody to do that.

Welcome to BYC! Good luck with your roosters. I hope you can find a solution for them.

Hi, Welcome to BYC! I would try listing them on Craigslist or in your local paper if you don't want to eat them. Good luck.

I never did that! I heard that from someone else on BYC! And to be honest I would not do that. It seems although they are in a very tight situation. What would you do?!

Give them away, eat them, euthanize them - anything other than dumping them.
