I got some update photos of my boy today!

I don't judge vegans, but I also don't judge meat eaters. I personally do eat meat. I wouldn't say meat eaters are ignorant, especially ones who raise there own meat. Those who have never experienced raising chickens do not truly understand where there food comes from. I think those who raise...

They weren't supposed to be food. We have chickens for eggs, we didn't have the intent of eating them. I had bought pullets not straight run, and because I am too trusting I was taken advantage of. I respect your veiws, but we don't have chickens for the sake of survival, if we did I am sure we...

Thank you so much. Your words of support warm my heart, I love knowing I am not alone. Thank you :hugs:bow

Yup, yesterday by some miracle, I swear it was like magic, I did manage to find him a place. Although I know I will probably end up back on this thread, because at some point, I'm sure, I will end up with a suffering hen or a surprise roo. Thank you all for your help! I really appreciate it! I...

Don't worry about it, I didn't see it as negative. No need to feel upset. Simply a different opinion :D Which I'm open to alternative solutions, infact would prefer it, if you have other better ways.

Thank you, I don't think I can ever see taking away an unsuffering life as doing it a favor. But I do know it is sometimes neccissary. I wish I didn't have to end his life, but it is my only option.

Thank you so much 🥰 :hugs Also currently I believe he is around 7 months old.

I really don't want to. I only have space for one coop on my property, that coop is already run by another roo. I just don't have space for two. And I was lied to about his breed (and gender). He was sold as a Lav Orp. He ended up being somesort of EE with Jersey Giant father. Not really a...

Trust me, I really really really don't want to. Thank you, very helpful. Thank you 💕 :hugs Indeed. 😔 That is why I feel, no matter his fate, he is going to be someone's dinner, if not mine, then the breeders family, if not them, then the eagles, if not them, then another family. It's a...

With my first batch I had bad odds like that, 6/8-possibly 7/8 (one passed, but I think he was a boy) roosters, luckily I was able to give to breeding homes because they were such high quality and four were pure breed ameraucana's. This will be my first bird sentenced to death... and let me...

I am not sure if I will be able to do it yet.... In the future it is definetly something I will consider. I don't know if me or my brother could stomach it, or more so if I could stomach knowing my brother couldn't stomach it (if you get what I mean). His fate is still uncertain, but I think I...

Also just thought I'd mention, there is a wildlife shelter around me that will take excess chickens, and humanely cull, to feed to the eagles.

Thank You for this post. I was wondering what you are supposed to do after the bird is dead, very helpful. 💕 Also a trusted breeder who I trust because her birds are such high quality offered to do the deed for me. For months I have been saying if he needs to die he might aswell feed me...

Is it dead within the first cut before you do the second? Or will it feel the first cut even if it's just for a second?

Thank you for this. Also what would be the most humane method? I have heard broomstick is most humane, but you can NOT hesitate, and I'm not sure what kind of bar they are using. The cone is really popular aswell. Recommendations?

I need advice. The thing I am trying to overcome is, killing an animal that is perfectly healthy, causing no problems, and has the desire to live. I feel selfish for taking that away. A while ago I bought three 2 1/2 months old "pullets" due to Covid I couldn't see them before bringing them...
