How on earth do you cull bantams?!

[TwistedTayy]

Yesterday my SO and I culled and processed one of our Egyptian fayoumi roosters. Probably not the best breed for our first try but I managed to muddle through. We feed our dogs a raw diet so I wasn’t planning on eating it myself anyways. I could BARELY fit a finger in to do the processing side of it. I have one more fayoumi rooster and a bantam barnyard mix… my question is do y’all bother processing or just cull and bury? Not crazy about doing that, at least if it’s processed it will be used… I did try finding them new homes but everyone and their mother is trying to get rid of extra roosters and the bantam is a jerk.

For chickens I use poultry shears. They don't tend to get dull and can handle the bones easily as long as you avoid the major bones.

I was thinking the same thing.

I only process extra stags once or twice a year, so don't have a lot of experience, but poultry shears work well.
I don't have Quail, but @Nabiki wrote a very helpful article on processing them. I've found it comes in handy when I have younger birds to process.
