I made every mistake possible I think, but I won't go into the details. I will say that chickens are a lot harder to kill than I thought! And this 2yo roo was tough.
I had put this off for many months, but knew it was inevitable since he had attacked everyone in the family more than once. It was still difficult and sad because he was a great flock leader in every way, and a good daddy to his chicks. Culling has got to be by far the worst part of raising any livestock.
Anyways, could use some moral support because I hate killing. I hope there isn't a next time or at least that it will be easier. How do you get comfortable with it?
