Roosters...how many is too many?

[SandraGW]

Hello, I'm new here, and I only just began raising chickens in April. I currently have a small flock of 11 chickens, 5 are about 6 months old, 3 are around 5ish months, and 3 are about 2-3 months.

I'm unsure of the 3 youngest ones yet, as I don't quite know how to tell hen or roo apart until they are older, but from the 8 older ones, 4 of them are roosters. I currently have three laying hens, and I need to know what i should do about my roosters. I've tried rehoming one, but to no avail. If at all possible, I'd like to get rid of him without culling him. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Have you tried putting an ad on freemarket or Craigslist. I re-homed a silky rooster this way (I live too close to downtown Minneapolis) and he's roaming with a flock an hour west of us now. Good luck!!!
