With stew being a last resort, perhaps

I think the chickens person is looking for solutions other than the stew pot...

Sometimes that's possible, sometimes it's not.

I give all my spare cockerels a chance on Craigslist before I eat them. A couple weeks ago I was just ready to eat them when someone bought all 4. (Sell, not give away, because if anyone's getting a chicken dinner I'm going to have it myself).

I'm interested in the subject of the thread but not sure I get where this is going. Is the point of the thread to show that it is necessary to cull the hormonal cockerels ?

The point of the thread is a secret for a ghost.


There is no one point. Points are different for different people.

Then I don't see the need to make a thread that says to try and find solutions and mislead people like me who are not interested in cockerel stew . Thanks for the prompt reply though!

Calm down...you may learn something useful here. If you learn nothing else you'll learn that not everyone has the same point of view.

Ghosts don't eat stew.

Leave her with all the girls and see how she gets along. There is some reason the boys are picking on her and her alone. See if the other girls pick on her. There may be something wrong with that pullet. Or she may be trying to be dominant herself and the boys are having none of that

If they are youngsters, she may just be the first pullet to mature and that's why she's drawing all the attention.

What if this pullet, that was being targeted, turned out to be a male!


Does he, the picked on one, get a free pass to stay for good now?

I’ve put my 2 roos up & my 2 drakes up on Fb farm group. Can’t get any takers.

I really do not want to eat them myself just because they were our first chickens/ducks ever. (And the ducks were supposed to be pets w a purpose aka egg layers. But I have 3 M & 1F.)
But I def won’t do the killing. That will be the spouses job. Lol

I wouldn't say so.

i've seen (haven't encountered it personally apart from once and it was quite delayed, so unsure what happened there) where people have 2 [or 3 or 4 or 5] males, including a very submissive male that is treated poorly by the others. They cull the assertive ones, keep the submissive one, and the power goes to his head and he becomes quite aggressive.

I'm sure it isn't always that way, but I do know it has happened
