2020 was a year of adventure; I was volunteered to foster 4 beautiful chicks. Suburbian lady with zero experience. Many YouTube videos, books, message threads my 2 roosters and 2 golden hens became permanently mine. A few adoptions and losses later. I had my Roo and 4 hens. Gaius, Athena, Persephone, Abigail and Emily.
As it may happen to most flocks one of my girls Athena started to get broody and depressed. I allowed her to sit on 2 eggs. She completely blind sided me by stealing other eggs and gifted me 7 new chicks this July.
I now have 5 roosters and 2 hens.
I love them all and if I could I'd keep my bachelor flock, I would; but I live in a suburbian neighborhood that tolerates my 1 rooster maybe 2 but not 6!
If anyone knows of a sanctuary or anyone looking to adopt a rooster please let me know.
They are not violent, super sweet, love snacks and sit in my shoulder like they are still chicks. I know it's my fault for not being more careful and I understand it's all my responsibility.
