The Rooster Clutch

Remember the eggs I hatched out at the end of April? Well those little buggers are big now and I am about ready to move them over to chicken coop with the adult chickens.
It is looking like four of them are roosters, 1 questionable and 1 little hen. That means four chicken dinners for the freezer when they fill out!
I am lucky that the hubster is eating chicken again. He had sworn it off for years because when he started working in law enforcement he was assigned to the parish jail. They were served meals while on duty and got the same thing the inmates got. Fried chicken was on the menu at least twice a week. He got sick of it.
Do you like to eat chicken? What is your favorite way to cook it?
This photo is one month old. The chickens are bigger now but you get the idea of how fast they have grown.

@kareng Fried will always be our preference, it's not as healthy though:)

Funny thing is those roos never made it to the freezer!
Also, funny is that today I told him that two more roosters are being mean to the hens and need to go to freezer camp. Do you want to do them all at once or one at a time? He said we will start with one and see how it goes. Looks like the freezer will be getting a few roosters. I'll have to start hatching eggs again next spring if the prices don't drop!

I need to move mine now too. But first I need to get leg bands on them so I can tell the younger ones from the older ones.

@kareng I will be adding mystic marans to mystic marans sooooo. They all are black. I have 2 of the suncast storage sheds. My turkeys and what I am hoping to sell are in one of those. The muscovy ducks are in the other one. They work great and are easy to put together. My layers and the khaki campbell ducks I am keeping are in the big coop that we built into the carport.

my fav chicken dish-
slow cooked in the crock pot with bbq sauce. Pulled chicken, makes a delightful sandwich!

@DocAndersen Does your chicken come out crispy in the air fryer? I tired one time and the chicken didn't brown -- it just didn't seem to work.
