yummy meaties....have 102 in the brooder and 27 in a tractor (there were 29 yesterday, but we had chicken and dumplings last night and the neighbor has a chilled roaster awaiting her in her fridge!)
it is awesome! my kids (after only 4 of our own chickens eaten) don't even want to have a store bought bird. they say the taste is so much better.
the only thing i notice is i have to add more salt, i am sure that is because the ones at the store have so much saline solution. plus i haven't brined yet, jut butchered and cooked.
it can be lunchtime whenever you want! in fact, it can be lunchtime twice if there is more than one serving! or you could share with someone. never mind that last statement, your kid ate it all!
You don't know how true that last statement is...... He was up at 5:30 this morning with his head in the fridge eyeballing the chicken........... Had to tell him to back off!!!! He said that it would be a good breakfast if I gave it to him with a couple of eggs too.........
