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

[Jessimom]

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.

My brother made Coq au vin - or Coco Van with one. So far, that has been the most tender of all the birds we've had (or so they said). I do NOT like Mushrooms - as in REALLY, really don't like them. I can't eat anything made with them. So, I didn't try it. We have 4 in the freezer right now (we found a place that will process them for $3 a bird). Not sure what we'll do with these. But like you, I find them to be much tougher to eat. Even with brining them.

Hi Dan!  you building a huge bator now or what? 

No, that's waiting till the fall when the hundred layers my mom ordered start laying. Right now I'm build a giant brooder to house the hudred layers as well as a hundred red rangers she's bringing home tomorrow. I don't know what to think anymore.

Hi Sally!! I've missed you too! I'm so sorry you are in so much pain, but I hope you are quickly mending! what else is new with you?

I've been busy! and this thread moves so FAST! Lot's of babies hatched, and I just set 63 more. I have a couple dozen in transit. Too many chickies! I'm working on trying to get my daughter's school to hatch some eggs. I ordered a new 'bator today to help sweeten the deal.
