Hi,
Newbie.
I have twenty four 2 week old first run chicks. I bought a Rainbow mix from an online place. It looks like I have some RIR, Leghorn, Americana couple others. How do you deal with the roosters? My preference would be to
have them all grow up to a certain size at the same time and process them all at once. But maybe save one for breeding?
Will the roosters mature at different times and kill each other before I get around to slaughter? How do you decide when it is time for them to go?
What traits make a good rooster worthy of not being eaten?
I'm sure there are a million threads on this type of thing so if you could just point I'd appreciate it.
