We just processed three roos, ages 1-2 yo. I aged them for 3 days in the fridge and then froze them. We'll see what they end up like. I remember when DH and I were first married and could not afford expensive, tender cuts of beef. We made do with cheaper cuts and marinated them. We got used to the taste (and chewiness) of those cuts. I'm getting curious as to whether our birds will be like that also.
