Most Adult birds have names here. BUT the Blue Partridge Brahama and Gold Partridge brahma, they are DH's deal so I am NOT getting attached because these are his "money breeders" and culling will be necessary so I want nothing to do with it.

I may have say anyways because they are so gorgeous I couldn't imagine having to pluck one

even if I havent named the darn things! I am 5'2" yes that's short but even so those roo's stand almost to hip. I am starting to give them some "shoves" as they keep trying to steal from my arms when I carry stuff in and out! We moved out two of these roos into our layer pen, even though the hens are all LF these guys are 5x bigger, could these roos break hocks or hurt my hens? I thought it would be neat to sell some eggs with them in there and its a great place for extra backup roos, but now I question myself the bigger they get.

If someone would have told me I would get so attached to chickens I would have laughed them silly.

but now I am having a hard time getting over that hump to processing.... some good words of encouragement are needed for when its time!! and that be in a month!

Been there Sally! I was the biggest animal lover before we moved to the country. I still am, but we have evolved to become more practical now. We only started processing 2 falls ago. The best thing I started to do to 'gear up' for the event, was to watch LOTS of YouTube videos on it. Until it doesn't bother you so much. You can see what to expect. There are many methods to accomplish the task - find the one you can live with best. Always remember, your birds had the best life! No store can compete with that! Best of luck to you!
