I've got some leghorn roos headed the way your roo is now! They are always skinny buggars. BTW, they can't use hormones and steroids in chicken production. Just genetics.
I was just reading that very information. I guess the USDA doesn't allow hormones or steroids in US grown chickens. What do we know about chicken from other countries, though?
YES GREYFIELDS, he's a skinny bugger. But we are frying him right now, and he looks and smells DELICIOUS wearing his edible buttermilk & vegetable oil coat.
Pictures post frying & eating to follow! Great idea, MP!
That picture is so funny. That bird has the biggest feet Ive ever seen!! I really envy you doing that, I wish I could. I wish I could go to a class or something that could teach you how to process your own chickens. I think its just great that you're doing that....big feet and all....
Nice post Dangerous chicken!!! Please post your recipes too!!!! We've got a brooder with 13 chicks, 20 eggs in the bator and another dozen coming--- we'll be needing to do all this ourselves in a few months ( first time all around here--- hatching, raising, waiting for the layers and butchering)
Can't wait to hear how he tasted!
that was the rule on my farm...you crow, you die. Good eatin'
wish I could do it, hubbie can't kill 'em neither can I. We have talked about it. My favorite story about the little girl raising pigs for 4H. She named them, Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
