Roosters must go

[RobertaE]

This spring I got four chicks from Tractor Supply--two are hens, which I wanted; two are roosters, which I DON'T want. They won't take them back; I called to ask and he all but laughed at me.
So who needs roosters? I need to rehome them.
I live in Charlotte, NC

Post a craigslist posting for them or call some local farms that might be able to take them!

Hi, you could try posting on your state thread: North Carolina or in the Buy-Sell-Trade forum here: Animals In Need of Free Re-Homing

Good luck!

Most hatcheries have a 90% guarantee. My suggestion would be Craigslist or facebook as well as possibly swaps if you have any in your area. I hatch out a lot of chicks of which around half will be males. We do have a couple of farm swaps monthly at our local TSC. We have a lot of buyers. I sell all of my males except the ones I want to use as future breeders. Good luck at re-homing your males also have fun...

This is what I found. I don't know if it will help.
