Aw I'm so sorry! I know how you feel. I know this may sound unsympethic but once you give away the rooster you won't miss him as much as you thought! When I had to give away my rooster I thought I was going to die!!!! For the same reason too. He was the sweetest chicken in the world. More friendly and outgoing than my hens, and they are so sweet! He was a white and grey splash Cochin. If you look on my page there is a beautiful picture of him that I took before I gave him away that I'm extremely proud of
