Roosters are the most-surrendered chicken category — and most rooster surrenders are preventable. A practical guide to coop adjustments, lighting and blackout management, no-crow collars (with honest welfare notes), neighbor conversation scripts, and how to research local ordinances before you have to give the bird up.
