Speaking of processing chickens we had some Roos 6 mo old and fed scratch and free range we gave one to our friends who butchered it and fried it they said it tainted great but was tuffet then leather w hat went wrong after this happened I have been told you have to freeze the meat to get it tender or let it rest for 3 days in fridge .that don't sound right to me

Yeah, just like anything animal, chickens get stiff after death (rigor mortis) so unless you can kill, clean and cook in about ten minutes, they need to rest in your fridge a few days at least to allow rigor to relax. A 6mo cockerel would wait a week in my fridge. Freezing the same day you process for six months works, from what I've read, but I've never tried that.

Hey All!

Sorry I've been MIA lately. Life has pulled me away from the computer for a bit, but I need some advice, so if anyone has any ideas, please share. I have a BLRW pullet that started laying eggs this month. The first egg had the thinnest shell ever and broke when I picked it up. The rest of her eggs, I've never seen because "someone" keeps eating them. I assume from the thin shell they're breaking easily in the box. Today, I finally got one that doesn't have a thin shell, but is saturated in calcium??? Her eggs are supposed to be light tan, and as you can see it's caked with clumpy white. She's on layer feed. Any ideas?

I agree, she is getting it all working, just keep an eye on her just in case! Sumi has a great egg link somewhere! SUMI!!
