At least the snow Banks are high enough to keep me out of the woods.

The results are well worth the work!Crock potted my juvenile delinquent roo that I butchered on Saturday. Man, the stock was unbelievably rich! This was the first of my birds that I'd ever butchered so it was a big learning curve for me. I have the feeling that it's one of those skills that's like getting used to changing loaded diapers, it takes time and practice to learn not to gag through the process.
I also noticed that the flesh was really a deep rich color in comparison to what you buy at the local market. Is that common in home raised/butchered birds?
Yeah, There were mainly Pekin's in the tub at TSC although there may have been a few Rouens in with them. I didn't see any runners or Cayugas. I really like ducks, almost as much as I like my Bantams but as DH reminded me, I'd be starting over and building from scratch. That made me pause. Building from scratch sounds like it's more work than I want to do right now.
Yep.I also noticed that the flesh was really a deep rich color in comparison to what you buy at the local market. Is that common in home raised/butchered birds?
I got finished with the butchering around 6 and just let the meat rest overnight. Put it in the crockpot about 6 pm the next night and cooked it till 8AM. I was expecting it to be tough but it fell off the bones.Yep.
Because home raised means that they actually moved about and were active. It makes the meat richer, darker, and more flavorful. However, it does also mean you need to be careful that you don't make the meat tough. Cooking low and slow does a great job.
