| Yum! Well, today we cooked one of the chickens that we raised. They flavor was amazing, but I thought the meat was tough. It was not terrible, just chewier then what I thought it would be and chewier then what I would buy at the grocery store. I don't understand why they are tough. I need to do some research. I butchered them at 8 weeks and 3 days old just as the hatchery recommended. I fed them a high protein food and I made sure they got exercise. If anyone else knows why this is, please let me know! |

Chronicle of the meat chicken: Part 4

When we butchered our chickens they were roosters and older so they were very tough. I noticed when I just roasted or boiled them they were very tough as well. I have found that putting them in a crock pot works the best with them. The meat falls off the bone. It was very good! So far that has worked the best for me. Im still experimenting myself. I think it's all a learning experiance lol.
