Rooster Refuge of Central Florida

Another passion of ours is our rescue for roosters, known as Rooster Refuge of Central FL. It became apparent when hatching out chicks, that more often than not, those sweet little ones turn out to be roosters. Here at My Homebody Homestead, we have a soft spot for all animals, but especially sweet roos. Through this discovery, the creation of Rooster Refuge came to be! We have now established a Facebook page, as well as networking with numerous chicken groups and/or organizations. Luckily, we discovered that there are others that share our love for roos and want to add these sweet protectors to their flocks.

Through this journey, we have discovered that many chicken lovers like ourselves face the same problem we have. Whether the chicks come from the feed store or home-hatched, it always ends up to having more roosters than hens or a rooster when you are guaranteed hens. This leaves family members heartbroken at the thought of having to re-home their​ feathered family members. That is where we come in, determined to find amazing homes and forever flocks for these boys. We can only hope to give our fellow chicken tenders relief and piece of mind that their beloved roos are going to good homes.

We love helping roos find homes, even when that may be ours! Check out all of the available roos for adoption below! Don't forget to subscribe to this website so you can stay in the know on all that's to come!
