We totally understand your feelings. Those of us that process our birds have been there as well and also those that do not.
Good luck finding a new home for your BO. I have a crew of extra roosters that I have been keeping separate from the flock only because I have had issues with the local bobcat population figuring out my electric fencing and some late nights on my part. I just know that as soon as they are gone to freezer camp, I won't have any back-ups and I would be stuck hatching out chicks before I am ready to this spring.
Good luck again!
