I didn't think I could do it either, but if you are going to raise chickens.... you need to take the BULL by the HORNS or bite the BULLET. You can't raise chickens without a plan for roosters. My plan.... give them away as quickly as I can so I don't have much invested in the roos I don't need. Someone can raise them to eat and it is a win win for both sides. Older roos I will try to sell if they are good enough for breeding, if not I give them to the roo guys that do eat them.

I know i need to bite the Bullet but its going to be very hard i think i have talked my hubby into doing it for me but its going to be hard frying him up lol

Quote: Once they are necked and headless..... they look and taste like CHICKEN LOL Once they were headless it was much easier for me and once we skinned them they look like a chicken. Skinny chickens but chickens.... just like you see at the store.
