If you're interested I have a hatch along going on over here>>> https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/redinators-first-hatch-along.1672919/

It's a little slow right now since I won't be candling again until Friday, but you're welcome to check it out.

Make friends with a snake-keeper?
Talk to a zoo or someone who does wildlife rehab?
Use them for pet food?

(Yes, all of those are based on the idea of humanely dispatching the fluffy little male chicks, then using the bodies instead of wasting them: similar to the idea of raising the males to eat, but much earlier, and they get eaten by something that does not mind how small they are.)

All great ideas, thanks @NatJ !!
