What to do with my roo's?

[oreochip]

I am new to the chicken raising society and looking forward to the adventure. My baby chicks will be delivered in about a week. We live in a residential neighborhood and roosters are not tolerated by neighbors or allowed by ordinance.

So if we end up with a couple of unexpected roosters...what do we do with them?

Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Sell them.......

Chicken pot pie, coq au vin, barbecue...

If that's not up your alley, there is always craigslist.

If you put them up on craigslist they go very well...at least for me they do. Never had a rooster that didn't sell. I sell them for 2.00 because I know I can't keep them and seems like any price over that they don't go.

If they are nice birds they can go for $15 here.

Thank you everyone. Craig's List sounds like the way to go. Your replies have calmed a lot of my worries.

eat them at 6 to 8 weeks they will never know any older and they are no good. Rosters are like men not realy needed .

If you can't sell the roosters, you can generally give them away.
