What’s culled?

Killing a chicken for the freezer.

Yikes. I’ve had a rooster in the past and he was mean to the hens. I would keep a rooster if it was tame. But two? Do people keep more than one? Would they fight?

Some people do, it all depends on the cockerels/roosters, their setup, and the number of hens available to them. You’ll just have to wait and see. If you don’t want two, you can keep the nicer one.

@ColtHandorf , are these cockerels? I know you have orpingtons.

Those are some pretty big feet. The larger of the two has thick legs as well. Sexing them has nothing to do with the tails. I'll say the large one is 90% cockerel and the smaller one 60% cockerel. It should get more obvious in the next few weeks.
