Can you eat roosters?

Date sort Score sort
Great thread - I'm in the same boat. Have roosters that are 12 weeks but one is crowing (loudly) and I'm a bit concerned with neighbors.

Also - is there a recommended YouTube tutorial for first time butchering?

Thanks all
 
Since I'm not allowed Roosters where I live. We ate the one that we ended up with. I really wanted to go through the whole process. I figure I eat meat so I need to be able to kill and butcher it. I have to say that I use only organic feed and It tasted better than the store. There are a lot of youtube videos about how to do it as humanly as possible. Definitely, do a little research if you haven't done it before & it will make the process go pretty smoothly.
 
Roosters contain higher levels of naturally occurring arsenic, clostridium botulinum and...Im joking. YES, roosters can be eaten! We had to shrink our flock a little bit by culling 4 roosters and they are just as good as store bought chicken. Maybe A LITTLE more tough, but it does depend on how you cook it.
