does ameraucanas have good meat?

[ChickenLeg]

I have 3 pullets, I'm keeping one wheaten and one blue wheaten, so the extra wheaten is guna end up as dinner in a few months, if they make descent meat? if not i'll just swap him for another breed. So question is, has anyone here eaten ameraucana lately?

 

[wren]

They really aren't very meaty. Sell him for two dollars at the nearest swap.

 

[ChickenLeg]

alright I might try swapping him instead! i want a silkie lol

I got one who is screaming to go in the crock pot. No swaps around here so time will give me an answer.

I here they taste like chicken. Sorry, but somebody had to do it.

montana - let me know if its worth the troule of dressing it!

bigred - you're one wild chicken ha

 

[KatyTheChickenLady]

big red is right lol, there is no difference in taste as for size they are bigger than some and smaller than others. might find it hard to trade for a silkie but give it a go!

 

[ChickenLeg]

i doubt it'll trade too, but i'm hoping since its linage is from john blehm, then it'll be more desired... who knows??

 

[wren]

Shoot. I wanted one of those years ago. He didn't have any to sell. Now I just have one old black hen. Did you advertize the rooster with a pic on this site in for sale?

 

[ChickenLeg]

Yes I did post him there! He'll be dinner a few months up the road once he's frying size

if no one gets him!

A local breeder bought 25 day-old chicks from John B. last spring, their first hatch was in late Janurary,
and i acquired 6 of the chicks!

I ended up getting 2 wheaten cockerels, 1 blue wheaten cockerel! 2 wheaten pullets, and 1 blue wheaten pullet!
I'll keep the others to breed myself, but i don't need 2 wheaten roos, thats 1 too many, so one is going in my belly !
