Ugh. I feel for you, but they are good looking birds. What will you do with all the cockerals?

If your going to cull the roosters,why not eat them or give them to somebody/thing else to eat?You could at least feed them to the dogs and cats.When they start crowing,time for the pot.I have at least 3 GLW/mix cockerals and since I didn't raise them and become attached to them,I have them separated and am psyching myself up to butcher them this fall and a bunch of old hens,too.At least that's the plan....

Good. It's a sad thing about too many roos. But I do feel someone processing them may save many from a sad life otherwise.

I think if towns allowed them and no one complained there would be no rehoming.

I agree with you Maryellen. You should be allowed to have them unless they become a nuisance like a constantly barking dog. I understand that not all people want to be woken up at 5 a.m. by a crowing rooster that isn't theirs but we all have to suffer annoyances (cars roaring down the street with glass paks, barking dogs, stray cats pooping in our garden etc) so why do roosters get singled out?

Have to admit, I'd rather listen to a rooster crowing at 4 am than a dog barking at 4 am. So, in my case, I guess I single out dogs... |

I agree 100% I'd much rather listen to a rooster (as long as it's not the same room with me!) than a barking dog.

Not many people like roosters, but many people like dogs. So rooster owners are more apt to be complained about. I grew up with long visits at my grandparents house and they lived right next to the railroad track. We all didn't hear it after a while. In fact we loved seeing the trains go by and waving.

I have 3 dogs. I hate their barking at nothing. I would rather listen to my neighbors 10 roosters and my own roosters crowing.
