Hi, i hatch chicks. Often times towards the end of the chicks i straight run and sell, they become the age where you can sex them. As you know, not as many people are interested in roosters, so i end up with extra roosters. I have Black and Blue Copper Maran, Plymouth Barred Rock, Buff Orpington and then we have specialty breeds, but we usually sell out of those within a few days. Right now i have 4 PBR Roos that are 5 weeks old, and 2 BO roosters that are the same age. We also have 8 BCM Roosters that are gorgeous, however they are 13 weeks old and we plan on butchering if they dont sell by the right age. So when do you think is the most optimal time to butcher? We do all natural, organic, gmo-free and no medication or vaccines.
