At the very least, I hope you got a refund from the hatchery. If not, get a new hatchery. One of the rescue shelters around here takes all kind of pets -- they end up with chickens a lot. Maybe see if there's someplace in your area that's similar? You could see if there's a college with an ag sci or ag vet program near you or call your local 4-H chapter.

Our local 4h chapter is inundated with people who enroll their kids in 4h to get around rooster restrictions so they have enough to run cockfighting rings—otherwise, even in the county, where there’s not a blanket ban like in the city, if you have less than an acre you can only have, I think, 4 roosters. There are no local ag schools. The school across from my house has a garden and chickens, but roosters aren’t allowed in the city, period.

The zoo used to have roosters with small harems of hens wandering around, right alongside the peacocks, but they’ve been gone for awhile, probably since 2012 when roosters within city limits were outlawed in return for letting people keep 5 hens with no permit and no offset from property lines. With 15 feet of offset people can keep 15 hens, which is what I have.

And yes, the hatchery refunded my $20, just enough to buy a rooster collar that he figured out how to take off in a day. My vet is asking her chicken-keeping friends who live in the county if they’ll take him and not eat him, my best hope at this point is one of them says yes.

Ugh, that sucks. I hope one of your vet's friends comes through.
