This we have contemplated as well, too many roosters. This is our first go around. If we end up with a couple of roosters (22 chicks to start), we will keep one and attempt to sell the others. If we can’t sell them, then I guess I gotta now look at what turning them into capons means lol. Thanks for the input.
A couple of roosters for 22 chicks isn't actually that bad. You want more than one for a larger flock. Something else you'll need to look into.
It’s definitely a learning experience in the making. I appreciate the feedback. More than one for 22 seemed like too many but I don’t know shit yet lol

Castrating the roosters before they reach sexual maturity to eat them later
Just read about that before coming back to here. Thank you for the synopsis. Now going down the rabbit hole of performing the castration.
