![]() "Joe" wrote in message Why are raising Roosters to eat anywhy? If you have a recipe for having hens lay only eggs with female birds.... Let me guess Overproof and lime marinade. Nope.... Do you just leave them outside to freeze? Sheesh.... they have feathers. We use to do about 100 white leggerds a year. Clean and package them all on one day. Then you used either 20 people or an automatic plucker. Nothing like the smell of the kettle boiling and a big steaming pile of feathers. That and headless chickens running all over the yard doing acrobatics made for and interesting spring day. We would raise hens for the eggs and replace the hens every year. Maybe one rooster to excite the gals into laying but thats it. No headless chickens running, I use a cone and a blade... slice the artery, and drive the blade in behind the eye to scramble the brain... let hang. 30 seconds in 140F water and hand pluck. Eviscerate and lay to a cooling tank. Hang to dry. No roosters needed to have hens lay..... it's all a matter of light. CM |
