It was the first and only time I saw it crow.

Old hens and roosters have more flavor. Most Asian, African, Hispanic and Middle Eastern immigrants greatly prefer the flavor of old foul, especially old roosters.

I like the flavor of old roosters. They are good when cooked slow, with lots of water and become very tender. They make good chicken and noodles. Since I can sell old roosters for 5 or 6 times what I can buy a processed chicken for, I usually sell them and buy the chicken I eat instead.

Now is a great time to buy old hens. Most of the big free range egg farms are dumping their old birds. You can get them for 25 cents each if you buy thousands. They are $2.00 each in smaller numbers. I just killed 100 tonight and they weighed 4.34 pounds on average, live weight. They'll end up as pet food.

I used to sell hatching eggs of pure bred chickens and needed to see which roosters looked the best before butchering the extras. I would usually butcher them at 1 year old. They were either used for soups or stews or canned.

i don't think you can change them.

We had one that was truly evil. We had sticks sitting at strategic locations all over the place so we could defend ourselves from his attacks. You could beat that thing half to death and he'd still keep attacking.

The wife liked to hear him crow so we couldn't kill him, no hits in the head allowed. One winter evening my youngest came in and said she thinks she killed the rooster. He was attacking and she inadvertently (or not) hit him in the head. I went out and saw him lying in a heap, told my daughter we'd butcher him after supper.

Went out after eating and the "dead" rooster was standing at the foot of the deck stairs doing that nasty growl he did when he was ready to attack. It kinda made the hairs on my neck stand up. Apparently my daughter had only knocked him out. She didn't knock any sense into him though.

A few months later it attacked my son-in-law and spurred him in the face. That was it''s death sentence. It had attacked me and my three daughters multiple times and had gotten a reprieve but one attack on the SIL and the wife says, "kill it." I said, "I see how it is." LOL I was dead a few minutes later. We ate it a few nights later.

On the other hand, I've also had very docile roosters.

I forgot to mention, he had a bad attitude, and would attack anyone that came around. I live out of town so not a big problem, but all the kids come out to see him. (they never saw a chicken before) and I am afraid he would get one in the face. He must be famous on Facebook they all take pictures and selfies with it.

So his demise is not all regrettable. In fact I almost did it myself several times.

But there is a lesson for all you old roosters that are still chasing young hens eek grin

If you eat that rooster , you might want to pressure cook him , because if he's 11/2 years old , he'll be tough as shoe leather. Young roosters need to be butchered around 5 to 6 months old , I've butchered some around 7 months old and they're starting to get tough.
