Title: Poultry dispatcher in fife
Post by: Mallorr on March 30, 2012, 09:53:21 am

I have 3 Peking cockerels that I have desperately to find homes with no luck. They are really becoming a big problem now fighting with each other and my hens. Is there anyone in five area that an take these birds or can unfortunately dispatch them for me.

Hi, thanks for reply. Is this something that you frequently do or have to do? If you were to help what would be involved, where, when etc?

i'm not so good at dressing for the table - i usually pass that onto dad after the hang for a couple of days.

but i dispatch the birds - i feel it's my obligation i have reared them so i don't know why i feel i have to do it.

i don't have to  do it frequently i will admit as i have had touch wood very few cockerals and most of the ones i have hatched i have managed to rehome.

deending on wether you are intending on eating them i could probably come to yours depending on wether i have access to a vehicle from home and dispatch either via air gun(depending on wether i can get access to the safe) or do it by pulling their neck i know it sounds pretty grim but it's reasonably quick, especially for bantams!

i am off college for the next couple of weeks so depending on this bl88dy weather i should have time somewhere, i am about 12 miles out from kirkcaldy/glenrothes- towards cupar so not too far away.

Hi, you are more than welcome to take them. Yes can meet in dalgtey bay or bring to Edinburgh. Can you give me an idea of times as I am a driving instructor and could only get down after 8pm or weekend would be good. Best idea is give me a ring on 07704776161 and we can sort out a time and place. Good news you can take them as we don't want to have them dispatched if avoidable. Regards, Malcolm.
