This guy got a new home IN the country. I'm happy, so happy cause he's going to be gorgeous. Now he can mature within a very large flock of matured ladies and sing all he wants while he figures things out! Thanks all. This group is PHENOMENAL!

I need my rooster processed. :(
Neighbors and hubby want me to dispose of my big rooster. He's being quite violent to the ladies and crows day and night. There are feathers all over the coop every morning til I started locking him in the dog crate. My girls are all scared of him. They all can run in a big quarter acre by day and go inside the run area an hour or so before sundown to eat / drink before they roost inside the coop.

Is there anyone in the Fort Smith, AR or Sequoyah County, OK areas that would want to process him. He's still young, very meaty. I can't get my pics to upload for some reason. He's going to be a nice big guy, but I don't think he's going to get along with other chickens. THAT'S him in the avatar 2 months ago. I don't have the means or know how yet to process and everyone wants him gone. Tell me where or who to call please. I do live in a rural area, his crowing night and day has just got everyone's feathers ruffled.

If you don't want to process him yourself, Just list him on craigslist (with full disclosure that he's a jerk) and let someone else do what they want with him. There are plenty of people who'd be more than happy to process him for themselves and then you don't have to worry about it anymore. Over and done.
 
The other side is it sounds like this guy is young, I would give him private quarters in site of the flock until he grows up a bit. Like 14 months old at least, and I myself prefer 2YO. It is spring, he is young, his hormones are driving him absolutely nuts.
Crowing, well roosters crow,,,, mine start around 4AM.

You could try asking your local extension service, also posting on Craigslist can yield something too. Good luck, this situation is all too common. Do you know anyone who would be willing to do the deed for you? The culling is the hard part, the processing, while messy, is pretty easy!

I'm going to be stopping by the local co-op after work. I'd do the processing myself if I had the equipment... way to boil the water and keep at 150*, blade for cleaning, etc. They are babies, most of them so I was procrastinating :( NEVER DO THAT lol

A nice big canning pot is what I use with a good pair of kitchen shears. Latex gloves help with the plucking too, the feathers seem to cling to them making it easier to pull them out!
