So....... I have a question for those that have processed laying hens........

Today I went to put the wyandotte that had not been laying into the crock pot.
She had a lot of fat!!! I ended up skinning in order to cook.
None of the others have had a fat layer like that. Seriously fat was 1/8" thick on the breast and 1/2" on the back.

Just an oddity or perhaps to many treats?

No. It is hard enough to cook an old gal to where the family will eat it.
Soooooooo sensitive about eating a "pet".
Seriously the plan all along had been to cook em up eventually.

She was way fattier then the others I have done. Just weird.
She also didn't have real feathers more of just fuzzy all over.
I guess I shouldn't worry to much unless I find more super fat like her.

Wonder if it was her added layer of heat. If her feathers were more fuzzy then feathery maybe she needed it for extra warmth. ????
