We have a skunk that visits our barn a lot. It really smells and it loves to eat eggs, but it has never managed to get any chickens to my knowledge. Skunks aren't very good hunters, they are slow, not good at jumping or climbing, and easily startled. They rarely go after anything besides chicks or perhaps silkies.

I'm not saying he is wrong, just saying that you might end up like we did, catching a raccoon in place of a skunk. Actually we caught a raccoon, a skunk and an opossum.

Obviously it was a gang slaying.

Not that I'm aware of
Maybe let an older one rest although slow-cooked is always best
Wait till after molt for most meat I guess

Also

Brining is very helpful for older birds.

Is there a certain age or "best before date" that it's best to eat cockerels?

Check this out!

Just put eggs on lockdown for my test hatch. Do I need to adjust the temp? We put more water and sponges so humidity is great! Thanks in advance!

Temperature stays the same. No need to adjust it unless it's running too low or too high.
