Post pics of your Heritage chickens (processed and/or cooked)

Here is the results of two roosters that I processed last weekend. They were ~20wks. They were from a batch that I hatched in April. I think they were comets or at least whatever you get from hatching 2nd gen comets. Anyway........

Those look good. Nice and dark meat...I see you went the easy way and skinned them.

Really nice meat 92pony. Do you have any photos of the whole bird by chance?

 

[92Pony]

Yeah, I'm all about easy!

These made #3 and #4 birds that I've ever processed, so I'm learning still. I skinned them enough to get the leg quarters and breast out and was done. I don't eat the livers or gizzards, so that made it even easier - I didn't mess with guts at all.

I didn't take any pics of them before I cut them up. I intend to do another 4 or so this Saturday, so I will try to get a pic of them if I skin them all the way out.

That'd be great if you could! Great job with this bird you have photographed. Looks like a lot of good meat came off that bird.

I did two more birds this weekend. One was red/white like a comet. The other was the guy pictured below. (BTW, both after pics are of the same bird - just two pics of it)

Y'welcome!

Those pics were before I washed him up and cut into pieces. I also de-boned the thighs.
