Fraser Valley Auction (http://www.fraservalleyauction.com/) in Langley has a Saturday morning poultry auction followed by a Saturday afternoon livestock auction. You can buy and sell chickens and all kinds of other related stuff there. Even if you're not interested in selling your bird, it's an adventure that's well worth seeing.

Hi Arianne,
In the past I've put cockerels on Craigslist -- if you'd like to see him studded out and not stewed a soon as he's plump, ask $10 for him. No guarantees that he won't be used for cock-fights.

Thanks Duncan. I'll try that first I think. Fingers crossed on the cock-fighting front.

If anyone identifies anyone on CL that is using birds for cock-fighting, please let us know so we can avoid them.

He started trying to crow this morning! It sounds like a rusty peacock at the moment, but I nearly had a heart attack. We'll keep him in a covered rabbit cage tonight until later hours of the morning.

Just an update. We're still looking for a home for this little guy. Let me know if you know of anyone interested!

I hope you found a solution. Sorry I have not seen your post until now.
We have just killed our roosters once they started crowing. With the breeds we had, they were decent enough size and delicious:)
