Hope it is a good one. I'm not in the market for anything right now. Growing out babies and I am sure I will be needing to offload some roos soon.

I know I am going to offend someone, but the best solution I found to an excess of roos/cockerels was lunch. (or dinner).

I know but some breeds are more feather than meat and my family has issues with the whole idea of eating "our pets". That doesn't offend me at all.

Mostly, I am just too lazy to do the cleaning, esp. if it isn't really a meat bird.

See, I was farm-raised. We bottle fed calves and then happily let them return the favor of feeding us. However, you are right about some breeds. I am pretty sure I couldn't force myself to eat any of the black fleshed breeds. Cold chills at the very idea. LOL

I would like to try it. My grandparents were on the farm and we had a calf every year that fed us. My hubby has never really been around that and to him every animal is a pet. The kids are pretty much the same way. If it were just me, I would probably have a grow out pen for the roos and then send them to freezer camp if they were worth eating but the cochins I have growing out now, I don't think there will be much too them, unless you want a feather sandwich!

Especially the bantams!!! It is different when they haven't been exposed all their life. My oldest daughter had some doubts. However, she quickly decided that the pigs we fed out were quite tasty. Good luck on convincing the family. You know what the ones you raise have been fed.
