Alrighty, thanks for that advice. I'll definitely do things a little differently next time. Live and learn, right? ;)

Yeah, I'm an idiot. :he I had read that you are supposed to let the meat rest... I forgot. It went into the freezer the day of processing. So, does that mean they will all be tough? Will letting them thaw slowly in the fridge before we prepare them help? I've never used brine before...

Well congrats!! :thumbsup You'll have to let me know once you eat one. (have you ever done this before? what were your results taste wise?) I only ask because we did one of ours the day we got them back. They were left whole.. we boiled it and shredded it to make creamed chicken...

@CommonRookie Soooo, how'd things go?? You ok? :)

Well good luck!!!! :thumbsup I'll be thinking of you. :)

That's why we left ours whole... less expense plus we didn't want any of it to go to waste.

Thanks for the compliment! xD I was super happy with the weights, even though, as I said, I didn't have anything to compare them to. :) And yes, I was very happy with the cost. $13.50 for 6 chickens, not too bad. It sounds like you have a lot of expense, but the scalder, the table and the...

$2.25 is what I paid per chicken. And she did a really good job. I'm very pleased. Very much worth it to me. We kept the hearts, gizzards and livers. And the feet. Our weights were decent, I think.. I don't have anything to compare them to, but here's our dressed weights for whole...

Well, I'll know tomorrow what mine dress out at. I'm very curious. I took them and dropped them off this evening to be processed. Will be picking them up tomorrow morning. I am kind of sad. I grew fond of them. Even though they were big and clumsy... they were certainly not dumb. They were...

Glad to see yours are doing well. Mine will be 8 weeks on Monday. Bf doesn't want to do them just yet. :rolleyes: I don't know why. I think he thinks they will get bigger. The chickens seem to be doing fine. Big, clumsy oafs, but otherwise seem good. I'm glad. I was worried about them a...

Ok, thank you. This is my first run of Cornish x... I haven't even weighed any of mine. I figure the next run, I'll know a bit more, so I can do things a bit differently. I've also considered trying the Rangers.. and McMurray has what they call a Cornish Roaster, maybe? I can't remember...

Yes, that's a very good point. I feel so stupid. :he The good news is we are buying feed tomorrow. No more medicated. What % is your broiler feed? Do you ever have any trouble with too much growth too fast? Leg problems?

@CommonRookie Forgive my questions, I read your thread late last night laying in bed. And I don't think I retained much of it. :P Your operation is a much larger scale than mine, I only have 6 cornish cross. But will be buying more in the future as well as experimenting with different large...
