Last year was our first year to butcher. We butchered the 28 extra roosters that were in our straight run of dual purpose chicks. I too am having to find recipes that use whole birds. I do often boil several birds, make broth and then freeze the cooked meat for quick soups and casseroles! I am so interested in your feed, but I live in Olalla,(just across the Narrows bridge from Tacoma)on our family farm of 23 acres. I'm not sure how I could get feed regularly. We are getting more chicks in a couple of weeks and will have more layers, plus some actual meat birds. We have 19 head of cows too. Some day I want to add turkeys and maybe pigs. All in good time! I can't wait to read the rest of your blog. Sally I’m so glad to find your blog and website! Last year was our first year to butcher.
