Can you fry dual purpose chickens?

[Down Under]

I used stuff like this https://southbaymaterials.com/h-c-muddox-mortar-clay-50-lbs to make the mortar to stick the fire bricks together to make my wood fired brick oven ... Good past 1300°F!

That sounds good but refractory bricks start at around 2500°F down here.

That's only as hot as I got my oven ... Baking bread, not vaporizing it!

Then I let the rest of the mass absorb the heat till it was evened out to about 600°, then slid in the dough ... I had heat probs at different places ...

True vaporised bread wouldn't be very edible, but it sounds like U_Stormcrow is trying to vaporise goat skulls while bricks and cement are becoming collateral damage.

Its around 1,100 degrees F, for those wondering. After 850-900 they turn white and crack just fine, but don't crumble to powder in your fingers.

With dual purpose birds do not expect them to taste or cook like the birds one gets form the supermarkets.
I much prefer the taste and texture of dual purpose birds and they are my baseline of what chickens should taste like.
LaFleche makes an important point about stressing birds befoe culling.
Some experimenting is required to find the right amount of standing time for rigor mortice to leave the carcass.
