3-Month-Old Rooster In Need Of A New Loving Home

[elizabethj02]

A few months ago, my family and I bought a batch of chickens from Tractor Supply being told they were all sexed females. To our surprise, a month later we realized a rooster had snuck into the batch. We have talked to our local city hall about keeping him but unfortunately was turned down due to the regulations they have in place. I'm not sure if there is a certain age they have to meet to be rehomed, but I am hoping for some guidance or tips to ensure he's able to live the long happy, and healthy life he deserves. Please let me know if you are interested in taking him in or know somewhere that can. His breed is an Australorp and I live in Virginia a few miles out from Richmond. He's very shy but is very sweet with a bit of a goofy side. I've attached a few pictures of him below.

Now to answer your question, about rehoming age. There is no age requirement.
