That makes sense. I just thought you could be the local Roo Drop off point

Hope it works out for you, I ate one of my old RIR's and it was nothing like the Cornish X I raised. Maybe the younger birds will taste better

The white ones with the red shoulders are Red Sex Links roos.

LOL yeah I am not letting them get over 20 weeks, that is my max time limit before I am leary of the taste! We give them Meat Maker feed plus our own mix of chipped sunflower meats, wheat, and ground corn to get more protein and a little fat in there.

if it was possible I would have all roosters.. I love roosters. but it isn't so I try to have as many as I can safely have and humanely take care of.. I could never raise a chicken and the butcher it.. but I would rather eat chicken that was humanely raised than the chicken we get at grocery stores.

My upbringing was on a farm. It is a natural part of life for me to raise animals for food. I understand that for those who did not grow up with it, or for those with a tender heart, it is unthinkable, but for many of us it has been and always will be a part of life. I feel good teaching my children how to raise food in a happy and healthy environment, and teaching them about the circle of life, and how to respect their food source.

Why would you want to kill 100 chickens for MEAT??????????????? CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT!!!!!!!!!!! I would hate to have to kill 100 20 week old roosters for FOOD!!!!

Some people raise chickens for meat. Not everyone has chickens for pets. Have you read the rules of the forum?
