Help Too Many Roosters! I can't even give them away!

[BooBear]

Rehoming the boys is rough. I learned how to process them and am finally getting to where I can do the kill.
The problem right now is everyone who either ordered or hatched chicks in the spring are also trying to get rid of roos.

You could always send them to freezer camp!

you guys are great and funny! Thanks for the suggestions!
I have two sons that will be willing to do the "hard" work for me and I will let my hubby supervise

and I have a deep freeze.

So plan B is covered. They are just so pretty I didn't want anyone to miss out if they were near by. I won't do anything for a few more days.

They make good soup.

A sweet family came and got all 11!!! I decided that was easier than trying to decide which one to keep. haha
I now have 4 hens and 1 not sure if hen or roo (tiny comb not quite old enough to tell...)
I have 5 hens coming from a friend who ordered us more HENS!!!

Thanks everyone for your help and advice. If I ever get roos again (too many eggs hatch...) I will know how to make soup!

Have a wonderful 4th!

I found a place near me that will process ducks for $3 each. Since I had a drake heavy hatch, it looks like I will be taking the boys to "camp" this fall.
