Hi. If you have any left I would love to test some for you. After looking through our final egg last night, we determined it was spoiled. She basically had hard boiled the egg from sitting on it. We cracked it only to find it was a bad decision, if you know what I mean. The smell was awful. Let me know. My email is [email protected] Thanks

That sounds like a beautiful flock, Kirtusjon! Welcome to the Florida thread.

Ok, someone here has to take this idea of mine and run with it. It was inspired by my three Jersey Giant roo's, one of whom I call "Big Boy" - pictured on the far right:

I was looking at Big Boy and his slightly smaller brothers and thinking about how well they will fill out a roast pan. You may even need the one normally used for your Thanksgiving turkey. I just don't know if I could eat Big Boy myself, and that is when the idea came to me. I call it the "roo for a roast" system. One of you chicken peeps that had more room than I do and does not live in suburbia would be doing us all a wonderful service. We bring in our uwanted roo's (within certain ages and weights), and for a fee you take them in for future processing in exchange for someone else's already processed roos. This way what we get back a little bit of what we put into them, and we are eating someone else's 'boys', not the ones we have often become attached to. I honestly think if I had the space I could raise and butcher meat birds if I know that is what they are destined for, but the ones I raise as pets and layers I try to make sure they are all tame, and in the process it becomes hard to think of them as going into my crock pot.

Anyone care to start their own 'roo for a roast' program? I'll be you first customer!!

Look what my mom made for me.

The front is from a BOSS bag I had emptied recently. She took a ton of my empty feed sacks home and has plans for them too.
