Wanted a burley for the morning, but wanted one with some heft. Old Joe Krantz in my Neerup. Cappuccino with almond milk on the side - didn’t feel like black coffee this morning. Cloudy, but nice out.
Where the heck did you find a 5 lb chicken?? Lol.Today I've been bouncing back and forth between G. L. Pease Charring Cross and G&H Balkan Mixture, each fill in a cleaned and rested cob. The snow began just after noon and is expected to continue though tomorrow morning. The housework is done, a 5 pound chicken is roasting, and I have plenty of tobacco. "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!"
We raise our table birds. The basic supermarket chicken is a Cornish Cross, 6 pounds in six weeks, stringy and tasteless. Heritage breeds, especially Dorkings and Delawares, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 pounds in nineteen weeks. Nice dense flavorful birds, it's possible that the Dorking was described in 300 BC it a Roman culinary scroll. This was a Slow Cornish, I also raised Red Broilers, both from Privett Hatchery, 4 1/2 to almost 7 pounds in 11 weeks. The Reds are better than the Cornish in our opinion, both out shine the supermarket chickens!Where the heck did you find a 5 lb chicken??
