To cull or not to cull?

[Rosie0550]

Great thoughts- I liked knowing that my guy I had to cull had treats & some extra EXTRA love before that one moment. You sound like a wonderful responsible owner.... (And your own grown chicken IS tasty ) Good luck Friday.

I think if the farmer has multiple roosters in any capacity he is used to “rooster behavior “- I would also imagine that if he were to see any of them displaying aggression that he deemed unsafe for the grandkids he will likely take care of it. If I had that option, I would gladly give him the rooster, but tell him you were concerned about some of the behavior- and not be upset if he decides in the future he must be culled.

This is without question what I would do.

If it works out, great; it not then someone better in the position to make that call with the experience to do it confidently will be handling it! I feel this is a win/win in a bad situation.

I'm really sorry you're in this spot to begin with!
