I have 9 egg layers. They are my pets. I told my wife n son to not handle these as I don't want them to show any attachment to them whatsoever. This should be a good educational tool for my son also. I am also going to be feeding them strictly fermented feed. Supposedly they will eat less, and the fermented feed is much better for them. Already got a batch started

How do you think your boywill deal with the head chopping party? Worst thing about them birds is how much crap gets stuck to their feet. They are the best eating birds in the world by far,we had a very hard time going back to store bought when ours were all gone.

Well he shot 2 turkeys and has been with me when I killed hogs so he will probably take it like a man and ask when chicken dinner is ready

He'll probaby get a kick out of the show they put on after the deed is done. They do run around like a chicken with its head cut off. Where did you get them from?
