Took the Plunge

All 4 in my flock turned out to be Roos. I'm trying to re-home 3 of them and keep my black one. Re-homing them is so hard. I can't find someone to take them. If I don't find someone soon I'm worried they are going to hurt each other. I have another group of 8 chicks in the main house of the coop that I'm hoping are females so I'm thinking they are getting protective of them. They don't interact directly. Hoping for some good luck this round. Man this chicken raising is hard work.

It may be best to get point of lay pullets next time - so you aren't stuck with a bunch of cockerels.,

or sex link birds - where their color determines their gender.

We found a lady who sells cochins around our home and we got 8 older chicks and she did the best at sexing them for us. We are raising them in a separate part of the coop for now but I really need to get rid of cockerals!
