In this insightful episode of The Poultry Keepers Podcast, Rip Stalvey, Mandelyn Royal, and John Gunterman have a deep and honest discussion on one of the most challenging but essential parts of poultry keeping: culling.

But wait—culling isn’t just about processing birds. It’s about decision-making. It’s about your flock’s future. It’s about refining your breeding goals, making tough calls, and protecting your reputation as a poultry keeper. Whether you raise birds for meat, eggs, show, or dual purpose, you’ll walk away from this episode with fresh insight into what culling really means—and how to do it ethically, practically, and confidently.

From understanding structural and performance-based flaws to making hard decisions around age, behavior, and utility, this episode covers it all. Hear real-life stories, advice, and proven methods that will change how you think about managing your flock for long-term success.
