chicken porn!

Modern mass produced chicken meat has ZERO FLAVOR. The only flavor comes from the skin or if you put spice or sauce on it. Dont know why anyone would want to eat plain chicken meat.

Have always loved a heavy chested bird.

I told someone the other day that I raise meat birds. Was at the grocery picking up produce discards for them. Standing there with my buckets and bins to swap out for the ones they've filled up.
She said- why are taking garbage from the grocery
me- trying to supplement my animals diet with diverse organic ingredients for free and reduce the waste flow to the dump.

her-what animals eat this?
me-my egg hens, meat birds, and rabbits.
her-what's a meat bird
me- a bird raised to be consumed. in my case, chickens.
her-why would you raise chickens to eat? do you know how cheap I can buy chicken?
me- I do know how cheap I can buy chicken, I also know how and why I can buy that chicken so cheap. Chose not too support a broken system.
end of conversation. YAY for the win....

If you were to ever walk into a TURKEY barn a few days before they clean them out and harvest the birds.... You would never eat turkey again....UNLESS you raised it yourself.

same for chicken...

I do not eat chicken anymore except on rare occasions. I do not like how they treat the birds and the drugs they put into them.

The contrast between a healthy free-range chicken that is taken good care of, and one of the Franken-chickens produced by American agribiz ... big difference.


One of the biggest rewards I got for putting out a water trough was a Turkey Conference in my front yard. About 20 Wild Turkeys.

They are big and graceful - they can fly easy, usually whenever I get too close.

Also, a big difference between them and the commercial version of the turkey.

I raise two turkeys a year. Gooble gooble!!!

When I was in school I worked weekends for a small farmer. We'd do a 100 chickens on a saturday, than 50-60 turkey on sunday. Kosher kill.

Good 8 hour workday.

I have no issues harvesting the birds..Just look at what happened to poor Gimpy the turkey (crooked leg, hand fed, but I still cut her head off with my cleaver)....

My issue is the conditions factory farmed birds are raised.

I wouldn't stuff 100 chickens in my 8x12 coop....even 20 is pushing it in there....

We need to worry less about KFC and keep an eye on Monsanto.
