Official BYC Poll: What do you do with your roosters?

[Ursuline Chick]

Stuff in the freezer?
I would be curious to know if animals needed to be processed in USDA facility?

Not here for some reason. Less wasted meat and less hungry people

Black tie and a dinner jacket.

Sounds nice.
English is not my native language and I can only guess what a dressed chicken means. The dinner jacket, black tie and hat is good for the laughingstock.
But my serious question is “ What does dressed in this context mean?”
Serious guess: “ Is it no head and all feathers? “

Food banks here won't even take eggs.

I believe 'dressed' means a cleaned carcass...no guts, no feathers, ready to cook.

In this context "dressed" means completely prepared to be cooked -- gutted, plucked, head and feet removed. The way a whole chicken would be sold in the grocery store.

Oh, @BDutch I am really sorry about the joke. I meant completely cleaned, feathers, head and insides removed. Does that make sense?

Thanks, was my own fault that I didn’t get the right answer the first time (joking myself). And Google translate still doesn’t know everything.

Btw I don’t like chickens looking like that. I rather see a rooster walking around with a few ladies. But in reality this is only the destination for a happy few.[/QUOTE]

Thats why I always give them away. Hoping to extend their lives as happy roosters.

I also need to remember, we talk differently here in New Orleans, than in other parts of American, sometimes.

We have the same with Dutch and people from the North of Belgium (flemish). But commutating is also learning each other languages. I do like that.
My English/American English has improved a lot reading and responding in this forum. At the beginning I used Translate a lot. And now I rarely do.
I do wonder how often I make strange mistakes though. But you Americans are so polite. That I probably never know.

I'd ask
You do pretty well, and you ask if you're not sure.

I personally do not hatch unless I can deal with the roosters (preferably Keep them, we hatch the best boys ) but if I had to offload some I’d sell them at a show.

I didn't go to the shows in the spring because of covid. Our first show of the season is next month. I usually take birds to sell at the shows but not sure If I will go. I'm elderly with conditions so I'm being very cautious.
