Searching for Ways to Market Roosters

[SerrarGett]

Does anyone know a way to advertise roosters? What kind of crowd do I look for when trying to sell/ giveaway roosters? I am trying to get rid of two white and black speckled Ameracauna Blush roosters, just entering adulthood. I know people are usually interested in roosters for cockfighting, but my birds are extremely passive and have gotten along pretty well in small, all-male groups. I really don't know what to do with them. Any advice is appreciated.

I don’t think cockfighting is as rampant as people think.
Vet them. Ask for pictures of their new home/flock. Go with your gut.

I know the feeling. I have to give away a lap cockerel, and I worry. But no one wants them! One rescue I spoke to said they already have over 200 roosters.

MarkJr, thanks for that advice. I just want to find someone in the area who doesn't already have a rooster or doesn't want the variety.

AntiqueB. Wow. Good luck in finding your bird a home!

Welcome to BYC. Good luck - finding homes for roosters is a never ending problem.

Hah. I'm really just trying to get the poor boys out of the way so I can start my own flock without having to buy ten or twenty hens.

Hello, there's a Buy-Sell-Trade forum here on BYC that includes a section for Free Re-Homing...you might try posting there.

Best wishes!
