Hi All,
I have have a flock of 14 BO that are about 4 years old. I live in a rather urban setting.
I have neighbors that are fairly close to me, I don't live in a subdivision per say but I am in a rather rural area with a rather large plot of land about an acre or so.
I was wondering what other Urban chicken owners do when their flock is expiring but don't have the means to butcher or have other solutions that more rural folks would have.
I do not have the set up nor the space to butcher my hens. If I tried my neighbors
would probably call animal control on my anyway. I also don't have the space to
dispatch then bury them all either. If I did then I would have chicken holes all over small property.
I am not there yet, but what are some reasonable solutions for an urban chicken owner to do with an aging flock.
Any advice from other Urban backyard chicken owners.
Thanks
