We have a broad breasted Turkey hen who was given to us by a family friend. She was the first in 30 years to get a pardon on their little homestead. She's super sweet and friendly. We have a heritage Tom who has bred with her. I've been collecting eggs for incubating, hopefully they're fertile.
I digress....being broad breasted she's starting to have a hard time getting around. She's about 2 years old now, but is significantly slower moving than last year. I'm thinking this fall she's going to have to be added to our slaughter more for her own health and comfort than anything. If it comes to that I dont want to waste her. Anybody ever eat a 2 and a half year old BB? Any suggestions for cooking? Or is she better off going as dog food at that point?
