Hi All!
Right now I am raising a batch of CX. They are now just over 5 weeks and doing well, say one. I noticed a week ago she was limping. Went from a limp to her dragging her body around making her belly all red and sore. I then moved her in a brooder tote with some of my RSL. There she is doing great, eating, drinking, still cant walk right. Well the RSL are now old enough to go outside and I need the tote for ducklings. So even though she's only weighing in at 3lbs12oz think I am going to process her. I have a gathering on Saturday I would love for everyone to sample home grown chicken. My question is should I do it the day before or is it better to let the meat rest a few days?
Also how do you all suggest I prepare the bird? I m going to have burgers, as well as smoking a roast for pulled pork. Any ideas?
Thanks
