Oh That White Meat

[Homesteading_Bound]

We processed a few roosters about 2 weeks ago. Lots of dark meat...However very good...I know part of it is the type of chicken.

Processed 3 of my meaties last weekend. WOW!!!!!

Now that is the best chicken I have ever tasted.

We ate chicken at least 4 to 5 X a week before I started raising our own....so we have tasted some chickens...Store Chickens...

I cannot believe the difference in Texture, Taste, Flavor and Color. There is no "Dark Meat" per say. However all the meat is juicy and flavorful....

Did I mention it taste Mmmm Mmmm Good.

I never thought I could raise my own...But I am...

My meaties are free range and spoiled ( That's my need not there's). I do and give to them....and in return they give so much more to my family.

Thats fantastic,.. I wish more people would post pictures of their meat birds!

They look very happy, and I'd say relaxed but don't all Cornish X's look relaxed?

Store-bought really grosses me out. Now you know how different a fresh chicken is. There really really is a difference in taste, texture and smell.

Good for you

I think it's wonderful that you give them such a good life while you have them.

It's the way I feel toward meat animals, also. Love them, spoil them... give them the best life you can... and they will then give back to you when the time comes.

Your response reinforced why I wanted to post on my expereance...Because it has been so positive....

Plus...and it's a big PLUS...

I know there is that "fear of the unknown" because I experienced those feeling. There's a bunch of negative press and "stuff" out there about raising them.

True...they can be a walking time bomb or unhealthy...I found it to be a balancing act...observing them daily and adjusting as needed.

I totally am realistic that the next batch could fail...I need to get several flocks under my wing before I can talk true...

However, for now...this is my experience
