Now that I know who to contact for silkies, I am looking for bantam cochin breeders. Suggestions? We just love our Partridge couple!

Free range chickens are tuff birds to eat. Too much exercise toughens up the muscles. Meat chickens are confined to very little activity.

So that is why they're tough.Thanks

Are you trying to eat them when they are still in rigor? 8 week old chicks shouldn't be tough no matter how they were raised.

I've been wondering about this. I get the science of rigor. However, I remember eating chicken as a kid that was processed that day, and it was good! How is this possible?

@KSane, I'm sorry for your losses, but am glad the LB's were survivors! Thank you, it's been a life changing experience, for the better really.

@NanaKat *hugs* good luck with your surgery! I'll pray for success & fast healing!

To everyone, thank you for the encouragement. Unfortunately, this cancer & breast cancer are the TWO most painful types to treat. It is a battle of the will making yourself climb into a machine that's built to burn & cause major pain with the hope it will kill these naughty cells!

I will appreciate all of you SO much more next year when I come to POOPS

Ya'll take care ... Remember, life could always be worse! Don't take it for granted & don't let the sun set on your anger.

Blessings'

rigor is why they rest for 30 min.

I hatched out 6 LF Salmon Favarolles from shipped eggs this spring and 3 made it and they are all three pullets that are about 5 months old. Does anyone know where I could possibly find a LF Favarolles Rooster close to the Tulsa/Broken Arrow/Coweta area like the one in the picture. The roosters are absolutely beautiful.

Visit a poultry house just before they are picked up for processing. You can't hardly walk through them for the lack of space available for them to stir around.
