I didn't really give a lot of thought to harvesting the whole flock at once. Really I could grind some up, de bone some, and leave some as whole birds. Not a bad way to go really, I'm not sure I have the freezer space though, that is a whole different issue.
What I am giving a thought too now...
It is a funny question because I'll eat a bird regardless. I just need to cook them differently.
The reason I ask is that if I order broilers from Ideal I need to buy a $25 minimum. That is roughly 12 birds. I eat a chicken or two a month, I could potentially have a meat bird for six months...
