So, with this group of 70 I have in the brooder coming on, I am thinking about culling some or all of my original 7 hens and 1 rooster. They are at least 5 months old, but probably closer to 8 months, maybe older. At what point does the meat change or become stringy like chicken can? Should I avoid frying those and opt for a slower cooking? Have no real idea about how to handle the older hens.
