So long roosters
Today I said goodbye to my seven (!) roosters, leaving me with four lovely hens. It turned out to be a good thing I got so many chicks or I wouldn't have ended up with enough hens. I may just keep all four that remain. I took the roosters to Linnton Feed and Seed and the woman there said they should be able to find them homes in the next day or so. I was kind of sad dropping them off as these are some colorful and fun characters I've been living with these past two months. But the cock-a-doodle-do's from the basement were waking me up at two and three in the morning. Also, it will be so much easier to care for four chickens instead of eleven. Soon I will move them to a coop I'm building outside. I'm interested to see how the dynamics of the flock will change with all the cocks gone.

I am glad you did not eat them after all!
