From the Coop to the Kitchen

I have been complaining about one of our roosters, Pete, for a few weeks now. He is a real nuisance. Gustar is the alpha rooster and Pete makes a lot of trouble for us, Gustar, and the other poor hens he is constantly trying to molest. If we plan on letting the chickens out to run around and eat bugs in the yard we have to make sure they can be out for hours because otherwise Pete is chasing the hens around trying to get on top of them. This causes the hens to squawk and then Gustar is on the hunt…he takes off running after Pete to protect the hens and show him whose boss. LOL Not only does this happen constantly but when we get ready to put the chickens away we will get almost all of them in the coop and Pete will do something that makes someone squawk and out shoots Gustar and then all the hens follow. It is an aggravating yet entertaining battle. LOL We don’t really need two roosters so last night Lincoln killed, plucked, skinned, and cleaned Pete. He put the meat on the smoker today and I received a text this afternoon letting me know that it was good. I know is sounds really hillbilly but I’m really excited about eating our organic chicken.  When I got home from work we did a few things outside and then enjoyed our organic chicken and a baked potato.  It was delicious!
