Golden Star Sex Links?

[RoostersAreAwesome]

Okay, just what I was thinking based of earlier comments when they were younger. What am I supposed to do with two sex link cockerels? I have read that they are not desired so I can’t sell them and honestly one of them is picking on the rest of the birds.

For now, since one is being a bully, you can separate him and the other cockerel from the others. From there you can keep them in that separate rooster-only flock, butcher them, get more hens, or try to give them away/sell them.

I didn’t realize they could be meat birds. Thanks for you help!

Any chicken can be used as a meat bird. Some just will have more meat that others.

Ah, gotcha. I have been reading a lot of comments where people were saying hybrids weren’t ideal meat birds but never really much as to why. Still very new to all of this so thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

There definitely are better options for meat birds if that's what you wanted but they will work fine for small butchered birds.
