LOOK what roo did, should i CULL him

[jnjross]

I have 7-7weekers 5 being roos. i caught the big roo pecking my sex link hen, she's bloody so she's inside back in the brooder box. should i cull him? i just know he'll do it again,

You should maybe start trying to re-home your extra roos.

Awww, poor thing.

I agree with ebonykawai. It sounds like it is time to start re-homing some of your roos. I had 8 roos and re-homed 7 of them. They just got to be pills! They would fight with each other all day long. It drove me crazy! I'm not sure what to tell you about Mr. Aggressive though. I'm sure some more seasoned chicken owners on here will speak up and give you some advice on that one.

That's nasty. If it were me, I'd cull him.

I know some gotta go i was looking to do that when they are bigger (eattin size) this was the one i was gonna keep, till now it was all i could do not to cull him right then, he's in the tractor by himself right now.

Can I sneak in and ask how exactly you cull a chicken? I mean I have a general idea what this means, but what EXACTLY does this mean?

 

[jnjross]

some wring, some drown, some cut.

Cull means to get rid of it, either by having it for dinner or selling/giving it away.

Culling generally means removing from your flock. Some people re-home them, some make soup out of them.
