Chicken therapy update

Punky is doing better I'm giving defrosted frozen corn which gave her energy, she's finally realizing Roo isn't out to get her, shes starting to walk around with everyone and doesnt start screaming and running as soon as I put her down. Lol right now I only have 2 girls who are not yet molting thus they are the only ones laying eggs and what's "neat" to notice is Roo only mates with the layers so he knows what he's doing ;)

My roosters are actually the ones that tell me when my girls will start laying again. As soon as those boys show interest again I know my girl will give me an egg within two days. I keep asking my boys how they know, but all they do is puff up their feathers and strut around in response.
 
Some of y'all raise other critters besides chickens raised for meat and eggs. I've suddenly taken an interest in trying lamb.

Some say it's sorta gamey and needs special attention when brazing or grilling. I'm thinking a farm-raise animal would not be gamey like venison taken in the wild. Can some of you chime in on the preparation/taste of lamb?

Growing up on a farm back in the 50's and 60's, I've had rabbit, squirrel, pheasant, deer.

I'm just seeing more lamb recipes on the Food Network, and just wondering what the rage is to bring it into popularity (maybe never lost to begin with). Maybe just under publicized. I would like to give it a try. --BB

I'm curious to see what responses you get on this. Lamb is NOT my thing. I simply don't care for the flavor. I've prepared it so many different ways, sometimes with sauces, but I can still taste the lamb. When my mother-in-law bought us ten pounds of ground lamb I fed it to the chickens during molt. They seem to like it.

I don't care for lamb, the flavor is far stronger than wild venison. I've had farm raised and store bought and neither were appealing.
