    Official BYC Poll: What Do You Use Your Rooster/s For?

    The rooster I have at the moment in a black sex link.

    How Many PET Chickens Are In Your Flock?

    None of my chickens are pets. 22 egg layers 1 Roo and 10 meat birds. Layers make money to pay their way plus feed my family. Meat birds do what they are supposed to do. They go freezer school next week. None are named, I don't want to be attached as it's to hard to part with a pet.
