Hello all,
I have come to the realization that the majority of my chickens are closing in on the big 4. I am thinking of butchering a few for a few reasons: A. They don't lay nearly as much as when they were younger B. I want to continue with the idea of " knowing and appreciating where your food comes from." Can someone please explain to me how this could be done??? Also, what are they best ways of serving senior hens?? I was thinking a stew or roast of some sort?? I have been in the " poultry business" since I was about 14 years old. Now broaching 18, I have the strong mindset that I want to continue animal husbandry well into the future.
Thanks a bunch,
JK
