Hello, my girlfriend and I have kept chickens for quite a while, but I'm a federal worker and now that I am back in the office full time we are looking to move closer to my work but are unable to do anything until we can find a home for our roosters. We have already found good homes for our hens but are left with two roosters. We got them both as babies in July of 2024 and I believe they are mixed but resemble New Hampshire Reds.
They are both as good around people as I've ever seen a rooster, they may peck you here and there or square up but they've never chased or attacked us or anything. They will call you over if they find any treats while foraging, and they do love to jump on you and roost on your head or back if you bend over (was cute when they were tiny but we've tried discouraging this now)! They like being around people and have done really well around submissive hens. They may need some guidance until they are out of their hormonal phase (another 12-18 months).
They don't necessarily need to go together, if you just need one rooster that would be fine. We are willing to donate a good amount of money as well as supplies to make sure they are well taken care of. We'd like to hopefully be able to visit them at some point in the future if able, or at least get pictures every now and then! We just want to make sure they go to a good home that will work with them and not abuse or immediately kill them if they aren't behaving properly. We live in northern MD but are willing to drive and drop them off to pretty much any state on the eastern half of the US. We are getting very desperate but we love these boys lots!
Please reply with any questions or interest!
