Hi, I have Easter Eggers (Auracana muts) born mid April. The roos are starting to bother the neighbors. I know they're not full grown, but they're going to have to go.

What do you think? Too soon? Voice box removal surgery?

Thanks!
 
go over and offer your neighbors some free meat or eggs

I just finally decided to butcher 3 of the four Roo's we had. They were starting to get a little "pecky"

with the hens and with each other. They are OEG/wheaton Mix.

They were about 5 1/2 months so I hope they don't end up Too tough.

They only dressed out at about 2.5 pounds each.

Sent hubby into the coop to capture them, didn't want the hens or Roo we are keeping to dislike me
