Basically an honorable death.

Take it easy man I ain't culling em. I just wanted them out of the pen with the pullets. To let the blue kote dry so I can put another coating on.

Let natural selection handle it.  Instead of culling have you ever tried releasing them into the forested areas around your house?

John,

Letting pen-reared birds out like that yields much higher losses than realized with free-range reared. Isolation of wounded birds followed by application of bluekote easiest route. To prevent, revisit feeding regimen paying particular attention to protein level.

haha I'm taking it easy. I took like 3 chill pills this morning.

Just want everyone to know that there is a Valhalla for gamecocks.

Yea I agree. I wasnt aware that they were the ones who pecked the pullet and were only temporarily out. I thought those were just his cull birds.

i don't particularly like to up the protein levels til about now. I was about a day or so behind the 8 ball. Too much protein too fast can cause bone problems without enough calcium.

is there a particular time of year to up the protien levels? Or does it depend on age?

Gamefowl are fighters, they should die fighting for their life.
[/quote] yeah legalize it! I wholeheartedly agree!

mainly age, molting and if your trying to pack on muscle. No real difference than in humans, well except for the molting.

Im coming around (I was anti)...but I realized ultimately they all die. Centra pointed that out a while ago, that there is only handful of end results for gamefowl. Disease, Old age, Predators, Dinner plate, or in a fight. Death from old age would be ideal on my fantasy list, but that never happens.
