I asked that young fellow to come back. Have not heard back from him. Maybe he is sleeping or just avoiding cougars?

Probably both!

@Redhead Rae blame me...

Yes, I blame you. You're the blame for everything!

Just kidding, you know I love ya.

I know, right? I leave for a few hours, and BOOM! Ten new pages appear out of nowhere!

IKNOWRIGHT!?!? 11 pages for me. I just stepped away to work on this, and you guys go bananas.

Sigh. I need to go work on a sign. Chat you up later, folks.

So I have a question. What is the difference in a chicken that you have been raising as a layer and one you have been growing as a meat bird? Is there a difference in taste or texture?

 

[TexasSam]

That looks obscenely delicious!

It is their ice cream is better then Blue Bell

I like cougars

A meat bird, if we are talking about meat breeds, has way more meat at a younger age then layer breeds. Most layer breed cockerels are already ornery and fighting when they are finally big enough to have a good amount of meat. Soooo the feed conversion to meat is not as good and the housing a bunch is problematic for most folks.

I am out too.

Squatch ya laters

Okay refining the question a little. Chickens that have been on layer feed their whole life are the still good to eat?

 

[21hens-incharge]

Ah so older layers.

Yes but any chicken over 20 weeks is heading to the tough side so best for stewing. My old (5+ years) hens become chimichangas. Low and slow in the crock pot. My hamburg breed hens were even to tough that way. My dogs didn't mind though.

I don’t like Blue Bell anyway. Mayfield or Ben & Jerry’s. Publix brand is good too.
