My Oldest daughter cooked one of the Pita Pinta cockerels that I processed a couple of weeks ago.

The cockerels looked like this:



Processed like this:




She baked them in the oven as a whole body, so Broiler style. It is very tasty and tender. The Wing, drumstick and thigh have a lot of meat too. The skin was good as well. The Bresse skin was not a hit but my daughter really liked the Pita Pinta skin.

Yes, the Bresse, processed at the same age, had thicker skin. The PP's skin was mostly thinner with a couple of places that were Fatty.

We think we like the Pita Pinta better for meat. I may need to switch to them from Bresse.

Shh do not let the Bresse folks know.....

I love the skin, and thicker is just fine by me. ( I'll keep the secret .if . . . . . you send the Bresse to me. . . .

) Better for meat means, what ? Larger portions or flavor is better??

I hatched just one bresse. I need some more. It probably won't be until the Christmas hatch.

Next trip is limited to heritage RIR, Dorkings, SPR and some not so heritage Ameraucanas and White Rocks.
