Normally it would but these were poor birds for meat and there were still a little young. The crowing was waking my kids up really early in the morning so they needed to go and didn't want to waste them.

Good luck on your butchering.

I cut the meat off the bone because I was trying to save freezer space for the small amount of meat. These birds are rated poor for meat but we're given to me, didn't mix with my hens, and the crowing

I know you meant scratch grains, mine like being scratched under their feathers. Mine just walk away when you pet them.

Mine are about the same they like a scratch when they squat down, which is a sign a hen is at laying age, then walk away and fluff up. The four roos I have are very timid and don't like contact but run

I tried doing that with some young roos I was given but the peace didn't last long when they were in the run together. The roos are getting a little fattening up before they are getting butchered.

I wish you all the luck on an easy introduction. My chickens are kind of the same my two layers will run up to me and as of late will misjudge distance and run into my legs. They like being around me but

Good looking and simple.

I love the information available from your videos because everything I've been wanting or thinking about doing for years has a video. Thank you for all the information.

Amazing how one guy releases a paper on a link that was later disproven and it is fact but thousands of others release papers to the opposite and they are all part of big pharma.

Steemit is going to be the place to get quality information due to the fact that there is a vested interest to produce and share quality information.

It was all wood I had laying around from taking down a small shed. No money out of pocket is always best.
