We cull birds at various ages for various reasons. If the bird is small or does not have morre than 4lbs of meat on it, it's dog food.
This Thanksgiving we had Barred Rock roo, age 18 weeks. Just too many roos in the hen house and someone had to go. The most tender delicious bird I have ever eaten. It dressed out at 4 and a half lbs. Older bird = more meat. Younger bird = more tender.
