You can try - but I must warn you - chicken math is very strong... If you have any Bantys they will go broody and multiply your flock.. so have a plan of what to do with the excess boys...

Bantys don't have much meat on them for butchering. I have a couple agreesive bantam roosters that I am going to take to the butcher and was debating on whether to just have do the deed or process them.

They make good soup stock. Any "real" chicken makes great soup stock - it really does taste like chicken instead of rubber that way.

You can always use them to make your own dog food too.

I use silkie cockerels for soup. I have fried them before, but it's just the two of us so one bird is plenty for a meal. Small just means you needs more of them for meals.

thank you for those ideas! chicken stock will be kept in mind in case I get to that point.

hi all, almost lost my pretty EE to a hawk. she only lost feathers and part of her right wing feathers, no cuts or punctures thankfully. Eva is acting fine and doing well, color was pale for an hour but she has bounced back.

This is Macy she is about 22 weeks. No eggs yet but looking forward to them and color.
