Too many ROOS!

[TheBirdBabe]

Out of 14 chickens, I have 6 roosters. What do I do with them?! They're not really eating size (7 week old bantams), but they're starting to "fight" a bit among themselves & sometimes squaring up with the hens.
I feel bad, but nobody in the area wants a "little rooster".

They’re not roasting chickens, but you could crockpot or pressure cook them to make broth and get what little meat you can off them.

If a raccoon can find enough meat on them to eat, so can you.
You could raise up the roosters in a separate pen for a bit till they put on some size. There is usually much less fighting if only roosters in a pen.

At this age the fighting should not be serious at all. It's more like play. The serious stuff starts at puberty, you should have at least another month before it gets dangerous. If they are overcrowded that changes things. Overcrowding is not good at any age.

I don't know how big your bantams are but people eat quail. You can eat them if you want, at that age they will be tremendously tender, like the chicken you buy at the store that are the same age when butchered. Makes you appreciate how fast the Cornish X grow.

I don't know where you are located but if you don't want to eat them yourself you may be able to contact a zoo or some type of animal rescue or rehab. Zoos have many different animals that eat meat and places that rehab birds of prey might take them.
