Hi chickeners after recently processing our first rooster (18 months) we were looking forward to a nice chicken pie to thank him.
We used the carcass for stock which was great but we were pre cooking the meat in oven in shallow water and it went quite rubbery.
Are there any secrets or are older...
Just been discussing when is a good time to bring in new girls and retire the older layers some of our girls are nearly three and egg production slowing in a few.
We currently have a clucky girl on 12 fertilized eggs and another half dozen Plymouth rocks to introduce to our mixed group of light...
Hi we have kept chickens for years, mainly for eggs and recently started processing our girls and boys for meat.
After speaking with friends on duck eggs and meat, just wondering has anyone else taken up dual purpose ducks
and how it has gone?
Also we like the look of Mallard ducks does anyone...
