speaking of yard birds/chickens how do raised chickens taste assuming normal feeding and free range for 1-2 hours every morning and prolly 3-4 every evening. are egg layers butcher worthy at say 2-3 years old??

Free range chicken is wonderful. If they can work for their food so much the better. Not a bug is safe, Hell some of KDM killer chickens might keep the coons and skunks away.:;:cheers

Looks yummyyy! I tried something called chicken provençal last month in France. Forget every chicken dish you have tasted because this is something from heaven! ;:;bowdown It's great with fresh rosemary and dried thyme. I'm looking forward to try to cook it for my wife when I get back home. It will be such a great surprise for her because I never cook and she loves everything about France. Her biggest dream is to buy a villa on the French Riviera one day and move there after we both get retired. Now after trying french cuisine I must admit that she has a point :D

My grandmother used to calling older hens "roasting hens." Usually cooked, or roasted them like a turkey. Also made homemade chicken/noodle soup with them. No French ingredients in them at all. Just good old home-cooking

Now as I age I do agree that the proper spices, as well as some smoke, can add a ton of flavor to most meats. For sure big old hens are edible as well as the roosters. A word of caution, you will find a different flavor to free-range chickens and it will ge very good. Another difference you will find is the amount of meat on those chickens. Used to butcher young of the year roosters every summer, more precisely, my mom did. The drumsticks of the wings were like the leg drumsticks of today's chickens.
