"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:)"

"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."

Duncan Martin replied to Arianne Albert's discussion Barred Rock Cockerel in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops

"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. Duncan"

Barred Rock Cockerel

Hi everyone,One of our 3 month-old pullets is actually a cockerel! He's a really pretty Barred Rock and is so far quite friendly. Does anyone have any tips for how to re-home him? We can't keep him here until he's big enough to eat as our neighbours would not like the crowing. I'd appreciate any suggestions, and I'm happy to give him away.Best,ArianneSee More

"Hi Jana, We have a silkie who sat in her nesting box day in and day out. She was trying desperately to make something (anything) hatch into a little chick! During this time she stopped laying all together. She would sit on one of our other…"
