This will be my first go at culling the layer flock. We have raised fryers with no issues and everything went okay.
My question is, the few that I plan to process this year are very lean old (3 or 4 yrs), red-stars. With not much meat, is it worth it to put them on the table, what is a better option? Broth, stew/soup, pot pie, dog food? Anyone have any good recipes?
Can I fatten them up in then next month or two for better table dressing? How would I go about that?
