Dressed Carcass Picture Chart

[Cyprus]

When winter sets in and I have more free time (weather permitting) I may start going through old threads and collect other peoples Carcass pictures.

I like the idea of having one central thread for Carcass pictures

Just be sure to credit them somehow.

Ok a turken here is an old girl that we butchered, she was 5 maybe? And wow was she fat!

the scale is set to ounces, if my math is good that makes her 4.1 pounds dressed, I didnt take a live weight but not bad! Side note she had 2 necked Gene's and less feathers than the cockrels we did that only had one necked gene.

this boy was a may hatch making him 4 months? Maybe close to 5 months. He was a dominate white with lots of color leakage otherwise a Good looking boy, but I only need so many roosters and this guy missed the cut. At 4 pounds a nice dressed weight! Both of these birds showed good breast meat and nice thighs, when I vacuum sealed the hen she looked like the cornish x we did over the summer.

I processed 3 mosaic roosters... not large size but I’m having a tough time with black/dark meat

It doesn't look appetizing at all. Or my Grey meat didn't. I still haven't processed any black meat birds I figured I would have some male ayam cemanis that would not sell and I sold out at Carolina Chicken Stock. However I had one that was 2 or 3 generations away from Ayam Cemani that had grey meat. It looked like old meat and I ended up putting off eating it until I had to throw it out for being too old.

Yea I’m really struggling with it.. looks awful

I can't try anything new right after sticking my hands up a chickens butt and pulling out its guts. Maybe I would try it if someone else dressed out the chicken

Just make chicken stock... and add bright colored veggies when you make soup or whatever. I Hate to let my birds go to waste once I have killed em. I love my birds but I want their lives to be for something

Same here.
I would eat gray and dark meat, but I'm also far from a picky eater.

We eat whatever we grow
