Eating our first roaster bird

[erinszoo]

Want to get the most succulent tender chicken you've ever eaten? Grow your own. OMG!! We did the deed on some of our meat birds early and ate them as Cornish hens and they were good. But this last weekend we had to take care of one with splayed legs that was over 4 lbs so we took the time to do in our biggest bird at the time as well that was over 5 1/2 lbs. It came out of the oven a few moments ago and the nibbles were excellent, if I do say so myself!

homemade chicken is goo`ood!

Indeed it is

And the best is pastured, and fed homegrown veggies/fruits/nuts


Part of the fun is letting others try home-raised chicken. It's nice to show people what REAL chicken tastes like!

Mine got a quart of tomato cores from 50 pounds of tomatoes yesterday that I'm canning. Today, an armful of mustard greens. They are in with my regular chickens so they get lots of exercise. Next week, will be putting the biggest in the freezer. I'm sure all those fresh veggies and greens make a difference. Look at the tase of eggs, grass fed beef and home-grown tomatoes compared to store-bought.
