Ok so we went to a local farmers market to buy some Cornish crosses that we're raised in more of the manner that we would raise them to see what we thought of the taste ect. They were about $3 a pound which I did not feel was a terrible price for what we were getting. So we put one in the crockpot yesterday and cooked it up and took all the meat off to put in a casserole. My husband put it in the scale and we got 14oz of meat for our $9. Is that norma? Is there usually that little meat when you don't pump them up on hormones etc? That is cost prohibitive for my family. If that is normal then it makes me wonder if it will be cost effective at all to raise any of them. I am more concerned about the health benefits of eating our own birds but admittedly our resources are limited in the financial department. So I am looking to see if we got a bad batch of birds or if typically birds that way around 3 pounds only have less than 1 pound of meat...
