Because they're all my babies.....Why not? You crank out so many roosters you could fill the freezer, even if you just took the breast meat and leg quarters. I use rooster meat for tacos, chicken salad, soups, dumplings, etc. Anything you need shredded chicken for. The Instant Pot decreases the time it takes to tenderize the meat to fork tender so it can be stredded. I butchered 5 the other day and my big white tom turkey’s days are numbered. I had to fight for my life trying to give him water today.![]()

I haven't butchered birds since I was a teen. I don't remember enough to not screw it up I figure. And it seems like work.
