overrun with roosters!!

I bought meat chickens once and did the processing at nine weeks? Any way, I had one processed, head removed, skin removed, but if you touched it, it would still "flex" kinda creepy.

Dont creep me out im all ready having a hard time thinking of culling one

The eggs have spots when your chickens have worms? I have never heard of that. I have had lots of speckled eggs over the years. In my experience, it's just been the way a certain chicken "paints" them as they're being processed. Even if they did have worms, I have never heard of worms getting into the eggs. Never experienced it in over 30 years of chicken raising, either. The only reason you would have to not eat their eggs is if you treat them for worms. Then you'd have to follow label directions as to how long you should not eat those eggs.

Its a certain type of spots on the eggs not the normal speckling you get..someone told me this a while back...im dont think they do just being paranoid...your making me less worried since you have had a lot of experience with chickens..so thank you i really appreciate it.

You're very welcome. I enjoy raising chickens and wish to share that with others.

They are very interesting creatures..i love sitting outside watching them all behave in different ways...I plan and hope to have a bigger farm with horses, cows , pigs, goats and so on...we like to save animals i plan on being a vet for every animal we want to own a family business (Im homeschooled and plan on finishing highschool all in one year so i can go to collage by the time im 16) we have about 20-25 chickens a Cayuga male duck that im looking for a female for 9 cats that were farrels we made a pen for them outside to stay in bc are nbr was going to kill them.we keep the nice ones in the house two in my room one in my sisters and one in my mom and dads room and the other 4 are outside they wont really let you get near them we just give them food and water.we have two dogs one we rescued from paws the other showed up in are yard and it took us over 5 days to catch him...found the owners turns out they dropped him off bc they didnt want him he was badly abused and had major anxiety he wasnt able to walk on a leash but we have gotten him to walk on a leash since being with us and he is less scared having another dog around also seems to help with his anxiety..we also have two rabbits that are in a outside hutch.. I take care of all the farm animals it was my idea that we get any farm animals...

Wowzers! You've got your hands full! Keep learning, and keep trying. Finishing high school in one year is a very ambitious goal. I wish you the best!

Thanks for the advice.I think the rooster is actually quite cute.

I didn’t think he was the prettiest thing, but it WAS hard to let him go...

I think every living thing is cute in some way...I would probably have a hard time giving him up to...
