we havn't and will not ever,
I don't even like chicken(the meat that is, i'm allergic),
and besides that, we all agree, our chooks are PETS, and spoiled as all get out, even our meanest roo( a sebright) will not be going anywhere because he is inlove with our bantam hens, and is the only one who breeds the little bitty girl. even when the girls start getting old, and stop laying, here they will stay to live out thier lives,
we have a crippled cochin hen named Libby(Limpy Libby), she has a broken foot thats healed, so she limps on it, but she keeps up, AND she lays, we'd never dream of killing her.
kudos to those who do, thats all fine and good, really it saves alot of money,
but it's not for us, we just devour thier eggs
