Alrighty, here's mine! I might do more later.

What recipe did you use?

Ah, I can put that expensive Fine Art degree to good use! I'll totally get on this after I get home from work.

Hahaha, my momma used to say you can say pretty much anything about anyone... as long as you follow it with "Bless his/her heart..." LOL. I use it all the time.

Photos yes! Please post all you have! And be sure to let us know how they taste!

Sorry, I am keeping mine! lol Try ebay, though, they sometimes have it for a good deal.

This might be OT, but I'll answer anyway. I'm just about to embark on raising meat rabbits myself, so I'll tell you what I've read, but keep in mind I haven't actually done this yet! Yeah, getting a pair is a little pricey, but start out with two pairs and the rabbit's notorious breeding...

Chickens are $10. Apparently they get chickens periodically.

Thanks for the info, Kim!

Kim, I might be moving to NC when I'm finally in a position to buy land and really go all-out farming. How hard was it generally to meet the regulations and requirements? It is expensive?

I don't know about heritage breeds, but the Broad-Breasted White is the "cornish x" of the turkey world.

I think it is good to have these sorts of conflicts with oneself about eating meat. It should make you consider carefully the weight of taking a life, and you will never take meat for granted again. I remember reading once about a head chef taking his whole kitchen staff to see a goat...

Only reason I can think to gripe about chicken sustainability is that they primarily eat grain instead of grass - thus land that could be used to grow human food directly is instead being used to grow food for the chickens (or human food is being fed to chickens - however you want to look at...

There's a whole community of super picky CL flaggers. They just go around all day policing the crap out of everyone, whether they deserve it or not. It's a real nuisance. Just keep putting it up if it gets flagged.

Good luck!

Yeah that web site doesn't have the best pictures, but I found a ton of other ones: Warning Graphic Pics The brain stem controls a lot in a chicken.

Quote: Oh be real! (coughing while muttering b.s.) My local processor does slit the throat instead of decapitation. They say the brain is still telling the heart to pump. If you cut the brain, the heart stops. I didn't believe it either! But I did a bunch of looking around and it seems...

Hmmm... I have wondered about whether slitting the arteries with a sharp knife or decapitation is more humane... The latter isn't necessarily as instant as you'd think. Chickens in particular seem to have a lot of functionality controlled by their brain stem. There's one chicken that lives for...
