Just put the boy on craigslist. Someone will buy him or take him. Not a problem,We can not have a rooster where we live. I wish I had known that when I put 3, 1 day old chicks under my broody hen to raise, that one of my other hens would decide that she had to turn protector and start crowing.
Also I did not know what great helpersthey would turn out to be in the garden. Every time I dig a shovel full of dirt, they will get in there and dig too. Sometimes in the shovel of dirt I'm trying to scoop out!
This is such a great thread.
Three tools I have come to love for chicken coop maintenance:
Angle grinder - so much easier than snips for cutting hardware cloth. I just used it yesterday to cut the doors off a dog crate, after trying every other tool I owned.
Plastic putty knife - scrapes poop off of any surface.
Plastic zip ties - good for attaching things. Just really handy to have around.
Wifey calls them on of 3 things...depending on which action is dominate...1) fly-running - when they take off from a perch and in flight, you see their legs going like they're running on air
2) run-flying - when they run after you or another chicken ( or squirrel ) and hop....fly a few feet and hit the floor running...repeat, till target is reached or squirrel gets safely back up a tree
3) rabid crazed action - when a burst of energy hits them from out of nowhere and they go in circles, zig zags and the like
at top speed with legs and wings everywhere...it's like they're flying on the ground at mach 5
