Did you post that in the "you know you're addicted to chickens when..." thread? You should!

We have an official "you know you're addicted to chickens when..." thread? I thought that was the whole site!

Does anyone have dark Brahmas or know someone who does? I'm looking for LF, preferably SQ. Thank you

Not off the top of my head, but I'll keep an eye out!

ditto!

Having them eaten is one thing, having them pecked to death is quite another. We just have so much illegal activity I have to be careful. I'd rather give them a humane death myself then being bait.

Agreed, that is my fear also. Here in south Florida I feel like its too risky to let them go for free.

I have to admit, the idea of eating a Swedish Flower Hen or isbar roo just seems... wrong somehow!

Ahh a rat, yuck. =( I know a lot of people keep rats as pets and that's fine and dandy. But...not when they're getting all up in your chickens' kool-aid.

Bad rat!

Isn't that like the saying "Your dog in your yard is a pet, your dog in my barn is a predator" ...
Your rat in your house.... a rat in my hen's house.....

Well, I raise FCBM. THAT is ammmmzing eating. We do eat some of the silkie roos too, and that is a bit weird. But the Marans roos have inspired me to think about bresse . We raise BSF so we could keep the natural protien high, and do while grains and powdered milk fairly easily, and I do free range my girls on grass so they eat a lot of vegatation. SO while I cant be Bresse, france, I could do what can be done in California. BUt of course I cant sell them butchered here becuse the laws are frigging insane.

We ate one of our BCM cockerels and I'll have to admit he was the best of our own birds that I've processed. We've eaten quite a few barnyard mix roos, campines and a few lakenvelders. The marans was the tastiest and tenderest.
