That's a good idea. He really likes being a hitman so I've paid him 50 cents to off mine before. I can't do it either. I still feel guilty about each one. Somehow I would really like to jump that fence though to be able to eat the boys with a clean conscience since it's way better that what I can get at the store. How do you do that?
Also I know I already asked about feed the other day but I have an additional feed observation. When the organic feed store I buy from ran out of the food I use, I had to get some food at tractor supply to hold my flock over while they were making more. I bought crumbles that were the most recommended by the staff as their highest quality.
It's still half the price of what I normally buy so it was fine. I've been feeding it to my chickens and no kidding, they are going through it like its candy. That 50 lb bag won't last more than a week and a half when my other food lasts close to 3. It doesn't seem to be as cost effective as I had expected. Also I have been so happy with our egg production while on the other food. In the last four days we've had 3 eggs instead of the 10-15 I've been getting. Maybe that's just because there was a change but it's interesting
. We will be going back to the organic food ASAP.
