Good morning all! I have 5 bantam roosters from the Easter EHAL that are starting to crow. They aren't very loud yet, and we are keeping them inside the coop. What's the earliest age you'd kill them to eat? Of the 4 or 5 Spizhauben roos I have, only one is trying to crow.
They were all hanging out together with no problems. We caght 2 on Saturday and put them in an inside pen. On Sunday when we grabbed 3 more, when we tried to put them in with the other 2, they tried to kill each other. So, we dropped the new ones into the bottom pen. So, 24 hours separation is enough time to remove the "togetherness" acceptance of baby roos.
