just a question

[Forrest_Flock]

once a hen has grown past the age for egg laying
is it okay for one to cull this hen for food?

I do not have the chickens yet
but with this small property I do not suppose I would be able
to keep hens and have no eggs coming out

the yard would soon get veeeery crowded haha

that hen would be very tough to eat ...

HOWEVER...you may be able to pressure cook it...
OR make chicken stock with it...

I would use a slow cooker to tender her up.

It would make a nice stew hen
