You guessed right. Felt like President Bush when I pardoned the last two. We'll see how big they get and if they lay any eggs.

We tried one last night and I could hardly cut past the skin to find it was like shoe leather.

Lots of work for nuttin.

Guess it's relegated to Dog Food. Should be good for their teeth.........

I noticed the two hens I pardoned are picking their feathers. Have a few bare spots. So, me and hubby went down the hill ( they are free ranging for a few hours ) to spray them with poultry spray and they bowed. Never saw a meat bird do that!!!

We got rid of the roo's last week.........anyone know how long the eggs would be fertile?

I do have a young lorp roo who just started crowing today......

They should be fertile at least three weeks, I've had some stay fertile as long as 6 weeks. (It might depend on how often they lay, daily layers might run out of fertile eggs sooner than more sporadic layers, but that part's just speculation.)
