That sounds so delicious.

And similar to what I did with the turkey.

Roasted curry-butter rubbed turkey stuffed with garlic and onions and white wine and sprigs of fresh rosemary everywhere, basted in more white wine ... They could probably smell it in Portland. And oh was it good. Is, I should say "is" as it "is" a 30 lb bird and there are only 3 of us eating here tonight ...

I'm warming up to the idea of starting a new flock of proper heritage Dual Purpose birds ... Does anyone have Delawares available soon-ish? Preferably local?

Please send me referrals and recommendations about sources. I want a good, honest, respected source.

Thanks!!!!!

I hate to say it but respiratory disease in chickens are still bad news those that live remain carriers and you have to have a closed flock.

Quote: I know i have been fighting with what i am going to have to do I hate myself for it all i did was trust a Jerk on my property. i am trying to do the right thing and asking here Do i kill off my Dark Brahmas ? i do not want to but i also want to improve the breed . Does the Upper resp carry over to eggs ? I really do need advice if it does i have 200 chicks i also have to do in,
I am kinda swinging that way but i have to know its the right thing to do my heart is broken and to be honest if i ever see this man again i may just break his nose . Tammy

I now have a HUGE pot of turkey bone broth on the stove, including the feet. It was my first time peeling feet, and I'm so excited to know how to do it so my broths will have even more nutrition!
