Can You Eat a Rooster? What's It Taste Like?

Chicken meat is a healthy and classic family (and farm) staple! But rooster meat has a reputation for being inedible, chewy, bland, and not worth eating.
Is that true? Can you eat a rooster? Or not?
The confusion about chicken meat origin is because female chickens are much more straightforward and less troublesome to rear in large numbers.
Female chickens are also much more desirable for the commercial egg industries. The same may be true for small homesteaders - such as yourself!
If you’re breeding your chickens for eggs, it is often the case that you end up with too many males. Dealing with these (potentially) unwanted roosters is an unpleasant reality of backyard chicken keeping.
So, whether you are interested in trying something new, or wondering what to do with your spare roosters, let’s find out if you can eat a rooster! (Or not!)

It's not so much the eating of meat that creates the suffering of animals. But the sheer greed for profit... Modern society seems civil on the surface. But if you look deeper. You will find your very own personal nightmare. :)
