🐓Roosters: we cannot take in any more roosters at this time 🐓💔 — we already have four, and there are simply so many in need. That said, here are a few things that might help:

🏡 Town Rules — Are you certain roosters aren’t allowed in your town? Sometimes rules are more flexible than expected.

🐓 About Roosters — They’re often misunderstood! Roosters are natural protectors of hens 🐥: they sound predator alerts 👀, will defend the flock 🦺, break up squabbles ✋, and even help hens find food 🌱. Young roos can seem “aggressive,” but often it’s just hormones ⚡️—many calm down with time and become excellent flock members 💛.

📚 Resources & Rehoming — The group Rooster Allies is wonderful for education and support. For rehoming connections, you can try these Facebook groups:
🐓 Rooster Allies (education & advocacy)
🐓 CT Rooster Rehoming
🐔 CT Chicken Chatter
🐔 CT Backyard Chickens

You can also post in larger chicken-owner groups — just note that you’re seeking a pet-only home, and screen adopters carefully to be sure it’s the right fit. Sadly, about half of every hatch are roosters, and it’s heartbreaking how often they’re unwanted. Thank you so much for caring enough to seek safe options for yours. That compassion means everything. 💛
