Hopelessly Addicted
Folks are always wondering what their non-meat bird roosters are going to look like, so I thought I'd post pics of my last batch. We processed four roosters, they were all around 8 months old. One was a Rock/Wyandotte mix, the others were Rock/Leghorn/EE mixes....I breed for egg production, hence the Leghorn blood. It made the carcasses a little lighter, but you still get the picture. I didn't weigh any of them but included a diet Coke can for scale

We butchered and put the bird in the pressure cooker right away, about 40 minutes and he was done. Cooled, pulled all the meat, and got a light quart bag of boneless meat per bird. Only 2 bags, though...one bird got turned into chicken salad and eaten for lunch, the other became enchiladas and was dinner
Anyone else with carcass pics?
