These are handsome young roosters and will grow into large strong birds. They have a lovely nature. Have been eating out of our hand. We keep roosters to keep the hawks away from our hens. I am selling for $10 each as I want them to have a home and not be eaten please. Look forward to someone wanting one or two. Thanks.

Price: $10
