Very sweet roo needs a home

Hi- One of my approx. 1.5 month old Barred Rocks is looking pretty darned roo-ish. Although my neighbours are great, I just can't have a rooster. I want to find him a good home-preferably one that won't eat him! Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

I would process this rooster if I hadnt already told my son that we would try out showing these two and that this one in particular is his job to raise.; ▶ Reply to This

also looks like one of my cuckoo marans is a rooster. this bird is around 9 -10 weeks at present.

so am putting both of these up for consideration.; ▶ Reply to This
