Backyard Chickens

[Michele Dahl]

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and wanted to post that I have a free rooster to anyone who is interested. I keep hens in my east Knoxville/Chilhowee area backyard and of the last 3 "hens" I purchased, one turned out to be a rooster. He is a Black Australorp and is about 8 months old (I got him in August). He is very docile as my kids and I are out there frequently and he has never harassed us and I've never seen him harassing any of the other hens. He is just starting to test out his lungs, and I don't want to upset my neighbors. Also, I don't want any baby chicks!!! If anyone is interested, please email me: [e-mail]

Also, if anyone has basic questions about having chickens in your backyard, I can try to answer them! :)

Thanks!
Michele Dahl
