EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

you should always rest the meat via brining at least 24 hrs longer for older ones, and perhaps use the older birds as
stock meat for soups etc

These guys were young? ish. I got them in Nov - so they were 5-6 months old.

I know meat birds they usually butcher around 12 weeks.

I am really texture sensitive, I can taste the difference in meat that's from the store, vs processed by an outsider store vender/person... if that makes sense?

So I can tell their taste was different, based on the lifestyle they had/lived. They had more muscle and stuff.


they free-ranged and lived a nice life.

I must say the coolest thing besides fluffing up is that snood of theirs that they can make really long or really short while their eating. This boy eats out of my hands! I am happy to have a pair! and their kid who is sold but not picked up yet
