I just dispatched one of my excess roosters, in this case 6mo Austrolorp/Cream Legbar mix. Tasted like I imagine his feed tasted like and yielded a surprisingly small amount of breast meat.
How much time is needed to improve the flavor before processing and what are dirt cheap ways to do it? Any advice to offer I'd be grateful for. Also recommend a carving knife that admittedly will not see much use so if you could please keep the price on the lower end................. I spent more time carving than I'd like to going forward.
Perhaps of note maybe not this roo didn't get much forage because he was A pain to re-coop when the time came and once out of the coop became far more aggressive towards the other roos where he was not in coop.
