I was there yesterday was a great trip there and back.
We drove to Yakima and home after a pup for friend

We would love to see someone take him for a flock if possible. We are vegetarian and so won't cull him ourselves. But if it comes to it, we might let someone local take him to cull. It's a really hard choice as we're pretty attached to him. But the fighting is not a sustainable situation and even keeping them separate like I'm doing today, it's still distressing the rest of the flock.

Reminds me of 2 years ago when we found out we had 2 cockerels. Our BL Polish went to a nice farm to be a breeding cock.
The other stayed and wore a collar to keep him quiet and we had him until early last year when he protected the flock from a predator.

I switched them around this morning, let the injured but quickly recovering silver cuckoo marans out with the hens, and confined Snowy into a coop/9 ft run on his own. Of course this run is inside the portable fencing and all the others are moving around him. I'm another couple of weeks from wanting to move and reconfigure the whole portable set-up as the pasture is one big pile of mud right now. I'm hoping they calm down. But I'm really hoping someone wants and has a use for this guy. He really is a nice rooster despite the horror movie level of blood spatter he's currently walking around with I had not previously considered how long it would take a white chicken to wear blood off his feathers. I've been pleased with mud washing off in the rain, but I don't see myself bathing a rooster.

Chickens don't mind being blown dry. Most of mine actually like it.

When poor Ashes got so beaten up he was bloody looking for about a week. I didn't dare bathe him because he'd already been in shock bad enough he couldn't stand. He spent three days inside before I let him back out for his hens to take care of.

Snow load had collapsed the roofs and bent doors enough that some of the bachelors got out and into his pen.

Is there a buy sell trade you can do for your area, or even BI? They have alot of chickens there.
