Title: Cockerel count reduced!
Post by: Pony-n-trap on August 15, 2010, 09:48:35 am
Our cockerels have been crowing like good uns for a couple of weeks now, Friday and yesterday we decided it was time to cull as they were also starting to scrap so after much deliberation we picked the 'Lucky One' and then theres Steptoe who was never on the slaughter list, and this morning the deed has been done, 4 cockerels despatched and now bleeding.

Our first home produced meat!! Hope they taste nice!!
