We're having one of our Cornish X for dinner tonight. Can't wait!

I know we only needed one to decide it was worth repeating the experience of raising our own//

Hope it turns out awesome for you!

Pot pie is excellent for old rooster as is chicken stew or chicken and dumplings. Anything you can cook low and slow in the crock pot. They will have tons of flavor because they are older.

Has anyone successfully roasted an older chicken, say.. a 1 1/2 year old hen? My partridge rocks are just MASSIVE and I don't like their attitudes

They would make gorgeous 'mini-turkeys'.

Covered pot with 1/2 c water. 250 degrees for 2 1/2 hrs. I have done it before for 350 but not tender enough. Low and slow Lots of garlic for me.

Low and slow are the magic words! I put a year old roo in the crockpot, no water, no seasonings, on low for 6hours. Falling off the bone tender! I think next time I'll put some seasonings in there with it though. It was good, and since I was making chicken and rice, lack of seasoning didn't matter as much.

I am so curious how one of these girls would look roasted. Am I awful? They're good layers... an egg a day.. but they're just not very nice and they walk funny... and one always has a dirty behind (she's really, REALLY flooffy). Maybe I will hang in there until Thanksgiving. Hubby says 'no' because they lay daily. But
