Zander’s Rooster PTSD and How We Butchered our First Chicken (rooster)
The first year with our chickens we had 10 which, to me, at the time was a lot of dang chickens! We had a couple roosters in the mix. If you are unfamiliar, as I was, roosters can be quite nasty! Let me put it this way, we nicknamed one of them a*$hole. Well one... Continue Reading →
