We did it... Jake Went to Freezer Camp! First One for Us

[speckledhen]

This bad boy earned a spot in the Freezer Camp Hall of Fame. Started out a great boy, got the raging hormone disease and turned too feisty for my breeding program. He had a comb flaw that wasn't up to par anyway, but his bad attitude made this easier to do. Wasn't too bad, actually, the culling part. From 51 birds to 50. From 5 roosters to 4.

Congrats Cynthia. I'm glad it wasn't traumatic. Maybe he was being a jerk on purpose to help you along...

Could be. I'm glad I wasn't completely enamoured with him or it would have been so hard. Well, if it was just the comb flaw and he was an angel, he'd have been rehomed. There was just the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back yesterday, so off to freezer camp he went.

Go Cynthia! Good Job.

I love it. That is the first time I heard the phrase "Freezer Camp". Glad to hear it was not too painful for you.

I cant take credit for that appropriate phrase. I've heard it on the old BYC for years. I like it, though! Perhaps just before you cull, you should say to the birds, "Have fun at freezer camp!" LOL.

It is never easy to do but its not so bad either. Good job!

OK Cyn. I am at work and thought of you going "Have fun at Freezer Camp" made me laugh out loud. Now how am I suppose to explain that....
