Chook Me!

how long does it take for Buff Orpington roosters to mature and be old enough to be slaughtered?

i want to raise some buff orpington roosters and i want to know what the average time it takes to grow these guys to be butchered? how many weeks, months? foodrocks5- think of the people that kill ANYTHING they can to get food over in Africa. Its natural for a person to kill a chicken to eat. We give them to the locker and they PROPERLY take care of the chicken. (slaughter it). Think of the people that do not have ANYTHING to eat- they kill, take whatever they CAN to eat and try to survive.

1. From my experience it takes just about 100 days from hatching to slaughter.
2. 5 months. You get them as day-olds in May, and put them in the freezer in October.
3. THATS SOOOOOOOOOO MEAN! ROOSTERS HAVE FEELINGS TOO! HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF SOME GAVE BIRTH TO YOU AND TO YOUR SUPRISE YOU GET MURDERED?????? YOUR AN EVIL PERSON!! VEGETARIAN 4 LIFE!
