So I have 6 straight run chicks that are 7 weeks old. 3 are definite rooster and 2 are definitely pullet and I'm calling one a "wait and see" even though I'm pretty sure I'm just in denial and it's a rooster. Anywho... I'm really in no hurry to remove the roosters yet even though I eventually must when they start crowing but everyone is living happily together out in the coop and run. I guess my concern is: is there a certain time frame I need to remove them for the safety of the 2 hens? Or that it will be just the two of them till spring all cold in the coop during a long Minnesota winter? My family has no problem culling The chickens for dinner... So how long should I wait till I butcher them and is it too drastic to remove them all at once? I have a lot of questions!
