Sell Cockerels?

[amerzshaw]

I got six chicks from a local breeder, and four of them are males. They are three weeks old now. I have two seperate coops, and a grow out coop, but I already have one rooster. I have four hens with the rooster in one coop, and I'm going to move three pullets in with them soon. The other coop houses two hens currently, and I'm going to move the chicks in with them when they're old enough. I also have four pullet chicks on the way, cause chicken math I sell the eggs at a store down the street, so I have added to the flock to up production. I plan to keep at least one or two of the cockerels, but I'm not sure if I should sell or keep the others. Any suggestions on what to do? What would be the best way to sell them?

These are the two I would most likely sell: brown boy is a Welsummer × Whiting True Blue, and the barred boy with feathered legs is a Black Copper Marans x Cream Legbar

Do people usually buy them from you for breeding? I'm was planning to sell them to someone who wanted them as a pretty guard dog for their flock

more often then not they say they are going to ad them to an existing flock of hens. last night i sold one and the woman said she had some pullets on the way and he was going to go with them
