Believe me, i had a hard time with it, some of them were awesome looking birds, couple white cochin, silver and a buff polish, rir, etc. All roos. I have always been a hunter, but it is hard putting something you raised in the freezer. But they lived a good life and i know what is in them. Out of the ten only three were pullets, the third was a dark cornish, it a was the only one my kids were going to let us butcher, i wanted to see how much more meat, and breast size it would have in comparison to the others, but a racoon or fisher had a easy dinner before we got a chance, along with the buff polish one of each of my wellies and brown leghorn. I no longer free range them. That was part of why i had to butcher them, we have a large chicken coop but i couldnt have that many roos with so few pullets and they were getting mean.
