we are first year chicken owners and will be culling and eating the extra cockerels.
it is important to us that our children know where food comes from, but we don’t want to do something they may not be ready for by allowing them to participate in the process.
I did not grow up in a family that thought about this, but was curious the ages you all have allowed your kids to witness the processing of a meat bird? I’m sure it greatly depends on the kid and their personality.
I have a 4 year old boy who seems ok with the fact that we will be eating these chickens we care for each day. He has seen a duck, chicken and a Turkey carcass with head off and watched me cook this but has never seen one die.
I am not looking for suggestions for my case, but more looking to see when and how you who are parents involved your kids in this process. Thanks!
