Hey Fred,
In the last week, 3 of the chicks I hatched have started crowing. There may be more......
Yesterday, I butchered one of them. I cooked him in the pressure cooker. I intended to make chicken and dumplings. The meat is so tough!:( Needless to say, we didn't have chicken and dumplings for supper last night.
I thought maybe if I put it in the crockpot it would help. I kept it in the fridge over night. So, today I decided to just make bbq with it. I cooked it for hours in the crockpot. It's still just as tough.
He's not an old rooster. They were hatched the beginning of Oct. Why is the meat so tough? Am I doing something wrong?
I butchered another one of them today. He's it the fridge in a big pot of salt water. I'll leave him there for 3 or 4 days and then try again.
Any advice on what I did wrong?
Thanks,
Penny
