When to butcher

[Cats Critters]

My chicks are 4 and a half weeks old and I'll be butchering

4 or 5 extra males there ether CM or BR. When do I Butcher?

 

[greyfields]

For purebred males, it takes them 15+ weeks to get to any decent size at all. I'm assuming these are cockrels missexed from laying breeds?

Here is why I have the roos : We ordered 16 pullets from Ideal and they sent 6 roosters for warmth.
Oh yea THANKS

you can butcher the extra roos at 20 to 24 weeks.
