"Fried chicken, roast chicken, chicken and dumplins, chicken noodle soup, chicken spaghetti, chicken salad...That's, that's about all there is."

This week we cleaned out the cages and put them in the freezer. 14 young roosters of mixed laying breeds and Orpingtons with cleaned weights ranging from 2 to 3 gave us over 41 pounds of meat.

Don't be afraid to grow your own meat. The hardest part is waiting.
