I plan on eating the roosters and enslaving the hens. They will be both egg producers and semi-pets.Originally Posted by KC2UGV
Only reason we have a rooster is because my daughter named him and I have been forbidden from eating him. I got three roosters for free of Craigslist and managed to get two processed before my daughter got home from school. She got home while I was finishing up cleaning the second rooster and asked if she could at least pet the last one before I butchered it. He pecked at her, she freaked out, he made a run for it and for the next three days we were chasing that bird all over the pasture. He was finally caught by a neighbor and returned home. My wife and the girls named him and hence I cannot kill him without making the ladies cry.
His name is Ricky and is actually a pretty good rooster. Very protective of Lucy, our crippled little hen (another craigslist freebie).
