I will check out those videos.
 
The blog is called The Deliberate Agrarian and the section to see is called Raising and Processing Poultry. He raises turkeys as well as chickens.
Hope everyone finds it helpful.
 
I eat them, add them to my free range bachelor coop (in which case they may still get eaten) or sell them off with excess pullets in pairs and trios. Occasionally I have someone looking for just a cockerel, but not often. Pullets here aren't sold without a cockerel unless I manage to get rid of all the boys and still have extra girls left over (doesn't happen very often).
I do the same add them to my free range flock. Let them grow out then put them in the freezer. They get to live a good life on 8 acres till there culled. And sometimes I keep one if it has a special personality I just can't help it.
