"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[kuntrygirl]

My phone threw a tantrum. Apparently its not a government size data base to hold my 6479 pictures I take of, well, everything. So I must part with some pics. Here's a few I found helpful I'll share before I delete forever...

I would probably have 3 heart attacks if I ate what's in PIC #2 daily but it looks DELICOIUS !!!!!!!! I think I"ll try that tomorrow morning right before I go out to process more birds.

I posted this on the meat bird thread and just wanted to share with you all.

We processed 10 broilers on yesterday. I was lucky enough to have some surprised unplanned help. It only took us a couple hours but my help got tired. His back and feet were hurting. I was ready to process more but he wanted to take a break and we never got back to doing it again. Oh well, I"m happy with 10.

Here are a few weights that I was able to take. Keep in mind that upon buying the birds, I didn't know that they were the slow growing broilers. Angelicis called and found out more about them when we both noticed that all of our birds were growing extremely SLOW!

Live weight Processed Weight
5.10 lbs --- 4.20 lbs
4.77 lbs --- 3.88 lbs
4.24 lbs --- 3.40 lbs
4.12 lbs --- 3.21 lbs

Other processes weights.
3 lbs 6 ounces
3 lbs 2.5 ounces
3 lbs 2.5 ounces
2 lbs 15.7 ounces
2 lbs 14.2 ounces
2 lbs 12.7 ounces

The livers, hearts and gizzards for all 10 birds weighed 2.56 Pounds. They will be used to make rice dressing.

I'm liking the sizes on these. Not crazy about monster chickens. Too big of breasts. But I understand about slow growing. Next time, huh?

This is yesterday's progress on new coop . Till SAMs had a masonry emergency he went to talk to them and he started the job as 3:00pm yesterday. Hopefully will finish that today and get back to coop. He got the floor done. And one wall framed up.

They are "supposed" to be broilers. Yes, I had someone build me a plucker but I have been skinning. I think I'll use the plucker on tomorrow.

slow growing makes a good tasting chicken to fast leave out taste

I agree with you. The broiler sizes are PERFECT for me. I love the sizes. Really, anything over 5 lbs would be too much for me. And most people that are ordering from me prefer the sizes that I am producing as well.

I kinda want to get broilers from somewhere else to see how big they will be. If they are too big, then that won't work for me. I'm just curious.
