SassyPants's daughter finally has one speck of change to her. One white tipped feather.

I would get a picture, but she is such a flighty, & dramatic hen.

Mocha is molting again. Second molt within a few months. No white yet, she's probably just gonna get darker again. Seems to be a weird thing that happens with the Chameleons.

@Amer, thought you'd like to have a look at how they're turning out.

Meat was tender. I hung the bird for 24hrs like a Pheasant. View attachment 3792443

Ooh! I need all the details on how you prepared that, looks tasty...

I just baked her. Started her out covered with foil(Shiny Side Down), baked at 400°F for about 10-15 minutes. Turned down to 365°F for an hour, then(Uncover) browned for about another hour.
I basted it during the baking process with it's own juices.

What do you do to hang the carcass? I have heard of hanging them before but didn't know people still do that.
I want to perfect my technique in preparing backyard birds.
