It's That Time Again...

During the spring I bought about 18 chickens total.  Six we have eaten.  Two drowned in the duck's water (I won't make that mistake again) and ten are still with us.  There are also another dozen males that came with a duck order but they are still tiny.  Of the ten fairly mature birds I think we have at least five roosters, possibly six.  They are noisy and starting to fight.  So, with much trepidation we have singled out two that are large enough for eating and will be slaughtering early this week.  There are two more that will likely be added.  I am really hoping it goes faster and easier than before but even if it doesn't I am looking forward to some chicken dinner.
