The master plan...
Keep all of the hens for eggs and sell the roos that don’t quite fit my liking for the breed. Breed certain ones for their qualities later on by separating them. We have a lot of different breeds now.
We go through about a dozen eggs per day, between humans and dogs. Dogs are fed raw, so eggs are added to their food twice a day.
I couldnt bring my self to eat our first cockerels, so they’re listed for sale right now.
Oh wow 12 eggs per day?! My dog helps himself to his own eggs by stealing them from a makeshift coop that he can access. Thankfully only 1 or 2 hens lay there. We have 83 eggs in our counter right now. I may just have to cook some scrambled eggs for the laying hens tomorrow.
I’m surprised people buy all your roosters. I always figured people didn’t want roosters. I can’t bring myself to take their life, but once they’re lifeless I don’t mind de-feathering them and gutting them. Thankfully my husband has no problem with doing that even if he likes the roosters.
