YO GEORGIANS! :)

I was advised in the intro post on the welcome section to post this here instead:

I'm new to the world of raising chickens. This is my first year. We built an awesome coop with a little yard, some perches, a small concrete lined puddle we keep filled with collected rain water and a sand pit under the house for them to hang out in. They love it and we love them. We even set up some chairs so we can hang out and just sit in the shade watching them. We got our first egg a couple days ago on 7/22/2014. We have 8 birds total. 4 White Leghorn hens, 2 Silver Tipped Wyandotte hens, and 2 Black Australorp roosters.
The problem is 8 is our limit and we didn't expect any roosters, let alone 2 of them. They are docile and friendly, but they are reaching sexual maturity and are beginning to drive the girls crazy as well as square off with each other. They aren't mean and no one has been hurt yet, but we want to nip this in the bud. We would like to find someone in our area willing to trade one of our beautiful, well fed and extra healthy roosters for a young laying hen. We would be happy with almost any kind of hen but we would like most to either add a Rhode Island Red or just swap it out for a female black Australorp. Would anyone here be willing to make a straight trade? If so feel free to contact me here or my Email (which I can give you if you don't have access to it here).

Sincerely,
Noob

P.S My Avatar pic is of the Roosters in question.

Welcome neighbor!! I'm in Cherry Log between Ellijay and Blue Ridge. I wish I could help you out but I have 3 adult roosters and a bunch of young cockerels.

Thanks. Its cool. I'll find a home for one of them eventually and worse case scenario I can just let them run wild and keep the roos out of the coop.

Too bad we're so far apart...unless you want to drive down for a couple of hens not quite old enough to be laying yet. You can have 2 or 3.
