Hello!!!
I have some roosters that came with the chicks i got this spring...They are EEE's but they are large and I had ordered only hens....just a mistake at the hatchery and I had planned on processing them when they hit 18 weeks...Well we are now at 13 weeks and they are becomming big jerks...of course its to be expected...there are three of them, 11 hens...and there is lots of mounting....fighting and carrying on. I am contemplating processing two of them early, just to settle down the flock. Is 13 weeks just way to early?? they are bigger then my Barred rock hens.....but i dont want to process them so early that its just a waste...if that is the case i will wait...what is everyones opinion???
