2 Roosters to butcher -ugh

[Mrs. K]

I want them gone.
I want to have canned chicken in my pantry.
I want jars of chicken broth.
I just wish the first part is done.

Ok, beautiful day, supper in the crock pot, here I go.

Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!

Um, what's for dinner?

 

[Mrs. K]

One old rooster, one young rooster, and I skinned them. I was thinking of pressure cooking, but that old boy is tough, he was even tough to skin. So... do I put them in the fridge to wait, do I pressure cook them, then pressure can them?

I hate butchering. That's why I'm going to get egg laying hens.

BTW, do Roosters taste like chicken?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Yes they do

I have a young Silkie/Ameraucana Cockerel I am going to have to butcher in March. Any meal suggestions that include chicken??

 

[Miss Lydia]

We do chicken n dumplings when we butcher extra Roos.

Lol, yes, but the problem is the stuff people are used to getting from the store doesn't so when they eat their first "real" bird they can be put off by it tasting "funny" (especially if not prepared right, as a mature bird requires the right method to yield texture that is edible

I’ve haven’t pressure cooked any of mine. However even the young ones are rested in fridge with a ziplock baggie and a little salt, no water. At least 3 days wait.
