packing peanut cockerel

[trudyg]

I got a packing peanut cockerel that turned out to be an Egyptian Fayoumi. I'm trying to give him away but, if no one wants him, does anyone know how he'll taste? I'm willing to raise him to max size, but that's a small breed and I'm not expecting much besides broth.

We eat our Silkies and others. They will taste fine but be MUCH different than super market meat. Not as tender as you are used to so requires more slow and low cooking. We made ours into a creamy chicken and mushroom pasta dish. It's lighter on meat than some of our meals but has enough to flavor the dish well and to satisfy the desire for my family. The reward of knowing where your food comes from and how it was treated every single day right until the last moment... that pay off is worth it! Chicken enchiladas are bomb too.

Of course processing and raising full term past hormones kicking in can be a little challenge. Also an adventure.

Have you tried Craigslist farm and garden section?

I've been trying to avoid craigslist. I'm going to ask our extension office, maybe they know someone (they hand out 4H chickens there every spring).
