Guess he does want to rule the roost.<br />(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)<br />When I was little (under seven), our neighbor raised chickens...for eggs and meat. She would invite me over to help pluck the feathers. She dipped them in boiling water to loosen the quills. I can still remember that smell.<br />I wasn't involved with the innards part.<br />I think it's admirable to raise your own food. Good for you...Linda/patchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639872362919575736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236480146425478200.post-43005164858549582682012-01-28T13:57:04.875-06:002012-01-28T13:57:04.875-06:00I'm surprised you couldn't tell a differen...I'm surprised you couldn't tell a difference in the taste.

I could never do it no matter how hungry I got. I would just keep thinking about raising them from little chicks. Even a mean old rooster...Donnahttp://gardenwalkgardentalk.comnoreply@blogger.com
