6th Annual BYC New Year's Day 2015 Hatch-A-Long

This is what the turducken looks like this morning. Have fun telling what meat is what once I start pulling bones out
This looks soooooooo yummy! I have turkey chicken and duck in my freezer, Im gonna have to try this. If you have the time I would love the recipe, maybe you could PM it to me :)
No recipe really. I quartered a young heritage tom, tossed in a small drake & 2 young roos, add salt, pepper, basil & any other spices you like. I had about 3 quarts of homemade chicken stock that I dumped in, real butter & water to get the liquid to the level I wanted. Below are pix of before cooking, after cooking & with the bones pulled.

I am curious if there is a special diet some of you feed before you collect eggs for hatching. Kind of like prenatal vitamins? I' m feeding complete layer from the local feed store, supplimenting with BOS and giving treats like cranberries and pumpkin. My eggs are doing fine but i was just wondering what others do. Of course the feed store said their feed is all the hens need.
 
So i am on day 14 and i candled last night. i am down to 8 of 11 chicken eggs...2 more were not fertile and 1 had a blood ring...there are still three i can hardly see into. For muscovy eggs i am down too 9 of 12 still but one looks like it is a possible blood ring i am going to waiting until the night of the 15th to toss it.

Feed stores sometimes don't know what they are talking about. I went to a nearby one because I didn't want to drive one day, I asked the guy for some flock feed, and he gave me scratch grains.

The person I got some of my eggs for this HAL from said they feed their hens meat.

Thank You! Im going to give this a try.

What do you typically serve this with? Maybe white rice, bread, and a veggie?
