Keeping Poultry for meat.

[Brambling]

Had the bird for dinner tonight. It was FANTASTIC! really tasty and the meat was just buttery tender. There didn't look to be a lot of meat on it, but there is easily enough meat left for a pie and soup! Brambling jnr summed it up.....nom, nom, nom!

Just discovered Preppers (although I guess we have been preppers in spirit for some time). I'm trying to PM Northern Raider to get his pdf on keeping chooks. How does one pm please?

Found this a short while ago, if anyone's interested.

Looks quite useful, although only for people who don't already know how to butcher a chicken.

i have kept chickens for a few years but never could bring myself to wring their necks. What i do is put some feed down and a bit of lead in the back of its head works, probably more humane to.
