Ever eat a tumor bird?

If he was a good warrior, defending the flock, I think a Viking funeral is in order.

It's so odd to hear someone put it that way. My way of thinking is that a bird that's been so good to the flock (or given eggs for years) deserves a decent burial and a short prayer. It would seem a dishonor to eat a bird that's been around and been a good bird for a long time. It's just strange how people can have totally different mindsets on something.
No right and no wrong, just interesting.

Yes, we all do have different views on it

I think it's kind of nice when they can do one last thing for us by providing a meal - but I agree that in this case, perhaps a proper Viking funeral would be appropriate. It may be a waste in one way, but would be a fitting tribute to a good rooster - he was a warrior for his flock after all.
