Getting rid of roosters

[BigBlueHen53]

I'm in the same situation. I have at least three 12-week old cockerels. I'll give them another month, then into the freezer with them. But I pay a Mennonite lady $2/ head to process mine. She does a great job. My arthritic hands are not up to it ETA and I did not learn how when I was young.

Also try Facebook Marketplace. I usually use local classifieds to get rid of cockerels with great success. If I want them gone really fast I advertise them for free.

Thank you. I will do that!

we used pipe cutters and it was quick.

So not this kind, huh?

Hey, that's a pipe cutter to me.
Was just imagining turning the knob a couple times then going around and around and around. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Didn't sound quick

In the suburbs knowing there would not be takers for my BYM rooster I gave the boyscouts troop him to do the deed. I did not see it, I did not hear about it, and when i asked, they used his remains as fertilizer under a fig tree I gave them. That's just a last option, of course. I hope he can find a home instead.

I thought it was a typo and meant something like pine cutters? I wouldn’t be using that on a bird.

Side note, I don’t know what pine cutters are if they’re even a thing.

I could check into that, the Barred Rocks are dual purpose but still bantams. From what I gather at 12 weeks they’re close to full grown, and I they are small. The EE is healthy but wirey on top of being small, probably very little meat.

Thanks for the suggestion!
