Anyone butchering chickens?
#2
I think our freezer is full but I'll ask the wife if we or anybody we know are interested. We are clearing out our property of roosters this weekend so nothing would happen before next weekend regardless. IF you are going to start trapping them for food use, may I suggest that you separate the roosters from each other or else they will just injure each other. Generally you can put as man hens together as you want and its OK to put 1 rooster in with each batch of hens unless he starts injuring them. Ideally while you are trapping and holding them you want to feed them as much high protein feed (called "meat bird" at the feed store) as they want and of course never let them run out of water, and give them shade and someplace to get out of the rain.
