What to do with silkie roosters

[harlee95]

What can you do with excess silkie roosters?

If I can't sell or give away to someone to care for them, I will butcher, skin and clean, then cook it up and feed it to the flock. I have a problem eating dark flesh. Besides, it is small for table use, and my girls can always use a protein boost.

Okay, that is just WRONG

Just curious why you can't eat dark flesh. Does it taste different?

Asian folks just love silkie meat, they say it has medicinal properties. I don't know if that is true but they prize the meat. To me just looking at the dark greyish black meat on a plate is way gross, and I will eat almost anything. Anyway just find or ask around any Oriental friends or neighbors and you make a pretty Yuan $ for them.

I don't mind the dark flesh. It tastes the same--and some of my EEs have had dark-er meat too. Wigged me out the first time, but then it smelled soooo yummy i plum forgot about it.
