Use dynamite, they won't feel a thing!
I've heard rumors that you can actually sex an egg before it hatches and that the round eggs turn into hens and the pointy eggs turn into roosters. If you could perfect this then you wouldn't have to make a decision either way.
If your birds are a true breed your roosters would be more valuable. If I ever lost my Rhode Island Red rooster all of my hens would become infertile and my hatching business would come to a screaming halt. Being able to buy a rooster then would be invaluable.
I bet you could sell your chickens on the internet no matter what age or what sex. I used to butcher all my chickens and then one day in the middle of butchering I had a yard sale and put some old hens out for sale. I made about six bucks a hen, then moved to some younger hens and got ten bucks a hen. And I sold all that I wanted to sell (about 20 in a day). Now I know I can sell my chickens for ten bucks each and go to the supermarket and get whole chickens ready to go for five bucks each LOLOLOL.Personally I'd raise them up to about 20 weeks and have a yard sale and sell them. You'd be amazed at how many people will want them! And at ten bucks a rooster you are sure to make a profit.
