The rehoming a rooster thread

[ABs flock]

Los Gatos/Santa Cruz mountains. Willing to drive and meet. Where are you? Which rooster are you interested in?

 

[Lay-A Organic]

Location: Central New Jersey
Roosters name: Earl Grey
Breed: Lavender Orpington
Weight: Not sure (maybe 6 lbs?)
Age: 6 months
Size: Standard
About Earl: We love him. He's goofy, sweet, and very attentive to his ladies. He's protective of his space, but so far not aggressive. He's also gorgeous! Unfortunately, we also have a Rhode Island Red Rooster who is older, mean as can be, and who I can't find anyone to take (anyone...?). I can't have two roos and still have the neighbors talking to me, so one has to go. As heartbroken as we are to let him go, we figure that Earl has the best chance of being adopted.

I have three that need homes.
1) Turkey Boy
he is about 6 months old and he's a mix. Dad is White Jersey Giant, mom is likely a Black Jersey Giant. He's not aggressive and very large like his Dad.

2) Foghorn Leghorn
he is also 6 months old and is from a Leghorn Mom and a Amerucana/Welsummer Dad. He is well behaved, actually nice and will eat from my hand. Very non aggressive. Average rooster sized, not large like Turkey Boy.

3) Muttley
Muttley is from the same incubator group as the other two. His Mom is a barred rock and I'm not sure about Dad. He can't figure out whether to be barred for just plain grey! He is very non aggressive and will also eat from my hand.


I have 40 hens and two other roosters. They all live together and get along wonderfully. I have no problems with fighting or aggression at all. They would be fine additions to a flock that needs a rooster!

Located in Northern California in Butte County. Actually living in the Bear/North Complex fire area of Feather Falls.

Where in the Bay Area are you located? I’m looking for a rooster to be part of my small flock of 3 hens .

I responded but don’t see it so I’m responding again. I’m in Los Gatos/Santa Cruz mountains. Willing to drive and meet. Which rooster are you interested in?

The first rooster isn’t a Jersey giant x jersey giant. One of his parents must have a pea comb, because two chickens with a single comb can’t produce pea combed offspring.

UPDATE: Oliver found a new home

Location: Connecticut
Name: Oliver
Breed: Olive Egger
Age: About 13 weeks as of 11/19/20
Size: Standard

Oliver was supposed to be a hen. (Yep, the usual story.) I purchased him from a wonderful farm in Vermont with three other pullets. He's vaccinated for mareks. My flock is small and I really like my neighbors, so I need to find Oliver a good home. He's free, no charge.

He is assertive, but not aggressive. I easily taught him to respect me as head of the flock. There's a mature hen in the flock who also keeps him in his place. I'm willing to deliver within a reasonable distance. Thanks!

Can you deliver?
Will you go for a trade?

It depends on where you are located. We're in Central NJ. Where are you? I don't know if I'm interested in a trade. I have enough hens.

Also, this would be free. I'm not looking to make money. I just want him to have a great home.

Good Point! His Mom could have been an easter egger. I can't keep up with these chickens! Thanks for noticing!
