BREEDING FOR PRODUCTION...EGGS AND OR MEAT.

I can honestly say Jersey Giants are one darn good tasting chicken
Wife thought it was the silkie, no the silkie is black and half that size. She said it doesn't look right, thigh/leg awful dark. Well it looks like a turkey leg, what did expect it to look like a frankenchicken? Lol.
Really tender and juicy and flavorful. The breast was more tender than the younger smaller welsummer ee cross.

My friend, I absolutely adore you, but you come near my favorite boys and you'll find out just how "spunky" I can be.

That said, I am going to start saving combes from all the boys I butcher. I never seriously considered eating them, but for making soup...that makes sense. Soup in June though...you may want to reconsider that once you're here. June is the absolute worst month in Arizona. It's super hot, way too humid, and with no rain for relief. June is when we all give thanks for air conditioning and worship the HVAC repairmen.

I want more info on how one would make cock's comb soup. I will have some chicks coming up this year, and will obviously not keep most of the males. Want to make the most use of everything.

If I remember correctly the Chinese make cock's comb soup, and it has the reputation of improving a man's virility.

It also can be refined and injected into joints:
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the body and its composition is almost exactly the same in all animal species – including human. It is particularly in high amounts in joint tissues and in the fluid that fills the knee joint (synovial fluid).1,3 HYALGAN

is made from an extraction and purification of hyaluronic acid from rooster combs, where it is also found in particularly high amounts.

Thanks for the replies on my NN questions.

I guess I am wondering if the nakedness can be breed out without losing meat quality. My daughter, who is my partner in crime on this project, thinks that they have too much "character" to be food. I want to give them a go, but she is hesitant.

Well, my mind is made up, she'll just have to get over it.

Quote: I think I could use them in stock. If the add gelatin and HA, I definitely could. I fear I would have textural issues eating the actual flesh though.

Edit: Would the wattles have the same quality's?
