I did it... I butchered a problem causing Rooster

[U_Stormcrow]

Why are you having second thoughts? Remember, the cost of one trip to the ER will buy a LOT of chicken food. I have found that there is nothing like a long hot soothing soak with some salt and pepper, garlic, onions, a bay leaf or two, and a few peppercorns to cure a myriad of behavioral issues.

that, or a relaxing smoke - similar herbs and minerals. But a long salt bath first doesn't hurt.

So I had a Rooster who was causing alot of problems, Chasing people, Killed one of my other Chickens and was absolutely crazy, I gave him so many chances to live but he kept un-behaving, I've had the Rooster for a long time and got a bit attached but today was the last draw, After he seriously injured several Hens I decided to put him down, I readied my knife and made one clean cut, It was quick and easy, No pain was in his body, He was dead, I cleaned him and processed him and now he will be food for the table, It was my first time butchering, But now I'm laying here in bed having second thoughts about it

By feeding your family he'll serve a greater purpose than he ever served in your flock.
You only shortened his days after he made the call. Have a blessed meal!

As life goes on, we sometimes have to do what's best for our flock, our family and friends. Doesn't make the process any easier, but it does help to know that it's done right and simple, and not wasted.
