All of us chicken farmers know when ya hatch chicks out your gonna end up with a FEW extra roosters, lol. I've been wanting to round up my extra roosters for a few months now and this past weekend was the perfect time for some rooster hunting ;)
I caught these 5 roosters in the morning before anyone got here...
pretty dang good.
After family and friends started showing up I got the great idea of having all their kids catch extra roosters for me and so...... Let The Rooster Catching Begin!
Us adults had a great time watching these kids try to catch this one tiny rooster, lol
This lil country girl caught that rooster
"Girl Power"
Then we had some "Boy Power"...
these two boys ended up catching the other 3 roosters for me
They were pretty stinkin proud!
By the end of they day "we" caught 9 extra roosters...
They will be goin to freezer camp within the next few weeks.
Later that evening this young farmer helped me put all 9 roosters in a extra pen for safe keeping where they will live til its time to go to freezer camp.
*** I have 2 head roosters & 20/21 hens. They are all so happy that the extra 9 roosters are out of the barnyard. Yesterday I collected 14 chicken eggs & 2 duck eggs.
Your little farm will be so much more peaceful and your freezer will be a little fuller. Win-win (except for the roosters that is).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea having the kids "help!" I'm sure the permanent residents are much happier without those extra boys around. :)
