they are all still alive! The coup is pretty impenetrable. While thing is wrapped in 1/4"hardware cloth top and bottom too. It's also burried a foot down and out in an L shape on the bottom. This morning 15 were in the coup so some went inside last night. They are almost 5 weeks so I have the males tagged for freezer camp. I want to cull them at full weight. I was thinking 6 weeks. Any advise on that timeline?
Your coop sounds sturdy! I usually wait until 6-7 weeks to process (depending on how busy I am at the time) unless they are getting to crowing all night, then it's sooner so the neighbors don't complain.
