I wish someone had told me "you'd better have a plan in place to get rid of all your boys", because I didn't & had to scramble at the last moment when they started crowing. I have "illegal" chickens in my subdivision and SURE don't want any roo's crowing and causing attention.
I ran ads on Craigslist and just GAVE them away, got a couple of phone numbers and quickly had a network of about 4 ppl that would take them off my hands when they became OBVIOUS boys! I wasn't afraid of them being eaten because they were all Bantam chickens, so I'm hoping they're still alive and well and being "daddies" and bosses of their own flocks.
