My cut-off (pun intended) time is when they start doing the cock-a-doodle. They also will start fighting soon after. The upside is that they’re nice and tender though still kinda small.

Culling is done for the animals which are not necessary. And in female focused chicken society not much male chicken needed. So farmers organic or non organic cull them
