By rehome I mean get them off your property by any means necessary. If you can get $20 for them you'll be doing good. To be honest a lot of roosters (cockerels actually, they're not roosters till they're a year old) are lucky to go "free to good home" and often end up in a freezer or stew pot. Since most of us only need one or two roosters in our flock, there is always a surplus of males. I wish you luck.

Well I will give them away if someone wants them. I'll make a post on FB marketplace and give them away. Thank you. If I knew how to clean and dress them then they will be in a pot. L.O.L.
Thanks again.
 
Thank you, and I also got 10 road Island Reds that are 14 weeks 3 days old, 8 hens 2 roosters. I got 4 Ameraucanas 18 weeks old 2 hens and 2 roosters. I will be glad to rehome 2 black copper maran roosters, 1 Ameraucana rooster. And when you say rehome do you mean give them away or sell them cheap. Because I would like to at least get $20 dollars for all 3 and I have a golden laced wynatt rooster I'll throw in also. I live in Shelbyville Tennessee, Unionville area. Scales Rd. If anyone is out my way.
You may be able to sell them easier as they are pure bred, though I'm guessing from a hatchery/farm store.

Check fb for local poultry/livestock groups near you. Many specify the county where most group members live. Also, if you are near any Amish or Mennonite communities, they may buy or trade (for pullets). Some have small animal sales during late spring/summer/early fall.
In a trade, "usually" it seems to be 2 cockerels for 1 pullet, it depends on what you have and what someone wants.

It really isn't that difficult to do. I do not pluck but cut the skin, through the feathers and it pulls apart.

I use the organs to give to our dog and cat, as they are on a raw diet.

I have two and may get rid of three French Black Copper Maran's pure, and one Ameraucana pure, and one Golden Laced Wynatt, the BCM are 18 weeks 4 days old, Ameraucana is 17 weeks old and GLW is 16 weeks old. If anyone wants them they are more than welcome.
