Looking for some advice. What's the best way to get rid of an unwanted rooster? I'm thinking of Craigslist. I don't mind if he ends up in someone else's pot, but my kids won't tolerate it happening here.
He's a 9-month-old white leghorn, so I don't know if anyone would want him, or even want to eat him. (At least I think that's what he is. We got him from TSC. He wasn't a pullet as we thought, and I think the breeds were also mislabeled. Not buying chicks there again.) He's handsome and nice with his hens, both chickens and guineas, but he has a bad attitude toward humans that no amount of handling has been able to erase.
Has anyone had luck with Craigslist? Or know any other avenue I should explore?
When Duckling was 4, the dog accidentally (I think) killed a hen. I had Fisherlady here to show me how to process before, but this was my first solo time. I didn’t know how Duckling would react, but as I said to her, I couldn’t waste the meat. She was mesmerized by everything, and you’ve never seen a happier child as she ate her chicken tenders half an hour later. It’s not a shock anymore when she says, “I want nuggets, can we kill a chicken?”
My legbar is almost one year old and never laid an egg yet. Since they have Marek, i don't know if she will ever lay any egg. My son thinks she is too cute to lay eggs any way.
