No, I just buy breasts, on the odd occasion I do buy a full chicken or other bird I'll eat the wings and legs as soon as it comes off the Rotisterator...that's the only time they are half passable...warmed up or cold they are gross.
Back when I had a live in woman she'd get the wings and legs while I got the good breast meat. -

Nigga you wouldn't believe how high the flowers got, they were literally 3-4 feet high in most places. I planted mostly potatoes and bushes last year as it was the first year planting a new garden but this year I will be branching out. The kale got crazy high too.
Because her majesty wanted me to reside in one of her many warehouses for a few months, they ended up being left a little too long and when I dug them up there were some massive cantaloupe sized ones full of bugs and beetles that they seemed to gravitate towards, leaving the smaller ones. Chickens should help that issue this year. I should have taken some pictures but this year will likely be even betterThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I don't have chickens yet but I pass by a place most days u can buy them at. My friend got 20 acres and just got 7 black chickens a few weeks ago but is fucked because they've grown so much they're gonna be full grown chickens in his house in the winter with a pit bull, a rottie and 2 cats, one of which is essentially feral and will cat in the henhouse Thang so we both have to build henhouses.
I forgot to mention the sheer GIRTHINESS of the yellow cucumbers I grew. You've gotta eat and refrigerate them quickly, usually in opposite order. Was thinking of getting goats but they have too cool a personality and I'll get attached and not wanna kill it, not to mention kids getting attached. Might just get some alpacas and emus because they are dicks with shitty attitudes. I really gotta come up with a good plan for where I set everything up cuz I'm tryna build a house and a garage somewhere too but need time and money to do these things. I can't wait til spring and summer this has been a winter of squeezing the poor folks like myself and wellhungThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2022-02-04 at 5:54 PM UTCI used to keep chickens, quail and pheasants on my 6 acres. You don't really have to do anything with them...buy a big bag of feed from the feed store and let them free roam...the feed is really just a "bonus" as they'll get all they need to eat "hen pecking" at ants and grubs etc on your land. (they'll stay within a small area, you don't really have to worry about them running away like a slave).
Having said that the pheasants did do a runner so maybe avoid those. We had about 2 dozen chickens and 200+ quail. We had incubators so raised the quail ourselves from eggs we bought on ebay (the first batch).
Both chicken and quail eggs taste much better when you "grow" them yourself vs store bought.
I built a chicken coop for them and they'd put themselves to bed in the evening when the sunset came around...all we had to do was go out and lock it up to keep the coons and coyotes etc out for the night and open it up in the morning...and collect the eggs.
We had enough eggs to feed Africa.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2022-02-04 at 6:03 PM UTCI watched a video the other day of some chikins getting released from their coop into what was presumably their first time seeing snow. They walked out following their leader who took about 10 steps and did a nopenopenope and turned around ran right back into the coop and the others followed.
Quite wholesome I cried deeply.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

There are alot of partridge around here, I can literally go out on a 4 wheeler in the summer and have to stop several times on the way to a trail I like to use to avoid hitting them. I have a friend who lives in another province now but sends me pictures of his quail hutch. Apparently they are super stinky and don't offer many advantages idk im just salt of the earth chicken folk not a big quail mogul -
2022-02-04 at 6:12 PM UTCChickens are smarter than you think (unless you already think they are really smart).
When I'd get home from work they'd spot me coming up the driveway and run to me clucking and making a fuss because they were pleased to see me..I'd say it was "sooo cute" but I'm too manly to use such terms. -

Yes quail are pretty messy. We kept some free range and some in cages...the caged ones were the primary egg producers the free range just for fun more than anything else.
My cages were highrise things...4 or 5 levels with about 16 birds in each "pen". It had auto water so you just filled up a gravity tank for the water and fill the feeders every day. We had 3 or 4 of such cages so 200+ birds.
But yeah the smell and amount of shit they put out was gross...cleaning it up was exwife #2s job. -
2022-02-04 at 6:18 PM UTCI think I have some pics on my computer at home of the baby quail chicks in their raising boxes...once born we kept them in plastic storage bins with heat lamps till they were old enough to go in the cages.
If I remember I'll post em tonight. -

It's the exact same shit. Or just fry em at home.
There's just a completely different use case for breasts. Breast meat is by far the least tasty meat on a chicken.Back when I had a live in woman she'd get the wings and legs while I got the good breast meat.
You played yourself. -

lucking fol, I told you I didn't think I had any pics of Poca...but i'd look...lets say I looked and didn't find them huh? Larry is the one who suggested he had pics!
I'm 94.2% sure I have at least 1 photo of the quail chicks in their tubs so I'll defo post that here tonight.
As a side not on raising the quail chicks quite a few of them were born with fucked up legs...as I recall this was a "known issue". out of 30 hatched eggs maybe 3 or 4 would have fucked up legs.
At first Exwife #1 would cry at the poor little fuffy babes with twisted legs and say "I'm going to try and raise them to have a happy life anyway"...
...6 months later I'm looking out of the kitchen window at what came to be known as "the killing stump" and up she strolls to it with a hand axe in one hand and 3 or 4 chicks in the other..CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP...there go the heads and the bodies tossed on the fire pit...then off she walks as if nothing had happened.
Wow I thought...what a difference a few months make...while being slightly unnerved at the same time.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
