We were getting so desperate on how to reduce the number of
roosters lately. We looked at another
slaughterhouse but it is an hour away and they only do the kill on Wednesday
which does not work with our schedule. I’ve
put up an ad on Kijiji but it’s been a few days and no interest
whatsoever. My husband offered it to our
neighbour free but he said he cannot kill either. So we were at a stalemate at that point and I
was fretting.
My husband’s last resort
was to call the farm where we bought the chickens that supposed to be hens last
October and get a replacement or refund but he said he didn’t have any hens and
he couldn’t afford to refund us. That of
course got me more upset. So I was
fretting some more. So my husband called
him back and said “I can’t really kill chickens and my wife is really upset so
can you please give us at least $5 for each rooster?" (We have a total of 4
roosters we want refund). And that’s when
he made the offer to give us frozen chicken meat in exchange because he
really didn’t have any money. And that
was a win-win situation for us! It was
going to cost us $3.99 per bird to have it butchered at a slaughterhouse which
won’t open until spring.
Now we're down to 16
roosters and 28 hens. Ratio is still
really bad but at least that’s a slight relief for the hens. Those 4 were the violent useless roosters. Useless males. We still have a lot of roosters (about 10) to
process but they can wait until spring because they are not very vicious as
those 4.
Here's the pictures of the frozen chicken.
