We recently had to kill our rooster due to conflict in our flock, it was basiclly the only way to stop the stress, and before you get mad or disagree, In our area there is absolutely no market for chickens or roosters. Nobody would have taken him. We just want to find the breed of our rooster.

So lately all of the hens were broody, I know crazy...
