New here, hello!!

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. And if you make them a meal let them sit in fridge like 3 days after you off'd them.

This is the kind of info I’m looking for! Thank you so much! I will do as you say.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Mr. Green is a great looking bird!
It is entirely your choice to humanely dispatch those cockerels and nourish your family with them.

Hello and welcome to BYC!

You have a beautiful flock! Definitely dispatch the meanies and keep the friendliest boy, you and your flock will appreciate it. Any boys that aren't necessarily mean can be kept together in bachelor quarters.

Best wishes with your flock!

Hello! I've never undertaken the task of moving with a bunch of chickens, but I've been tending them for 20 years. When we have too many roosters or aggressive ones, we do harvest them. My flocks free-range, so they tend to be too tough to roast or fry. I'll keep the meat in the fridge for a day or two and then pressure cook or slow cook them to make them tender. My last batch went into canning jars. Of course, storing in the freezer is also an option.

Hello, and welcome to BYC.

Thank you! The three in jail are mean. They need to go, and I need to know how they taste! It will free up space in my coop and save more feed for my hens.

Excellent decision.
