Bribe. A gold bar is not a gift.

I wish this was a “burial” option over making some creepy guy in a suit richer than he already is because you need just the right box for grandpa’s meat sac.

We hatch our own and we have all heritage breeds for various reasons so we end up with a lot of roosters. We have 42 hens at different stages right now and probably 3-4 roosters left.

Barred rocks are generally very gentle birds. Even the roosters. Keep touching him and talking to him and he’ll be good for a while. They tend to get a little ornery when they get older.

We do solely a meat breed for eating.

We use everything. It all supports how we live. We do not use the grocery store very much and even though we are poor we actually give a lot of food away to our neighbors and friends. The roosters will be used for coyotes that are invasive species where we live and affect all the other populations that feed us.

Could have just offered up 15 roosters this morning. They’ll go to trapping bait instead.
