I never buy chicken breasts. When I get a whole chicken, we eat the thigh/leg/wing and use the breast for tacos or chicken salad or whatnot. Thighs: the thinking person's breast

Yeah, but the birds are all coming from the same stock, so you'll get a woody one sooner or later.

Chicken breast is the shittiest part of the bird anyway compared to legs, and the supreme meat thighs.

Commercial chicken breast sucks. Good chicken breasts are on 2 year old roosters that are mostly tenderloin and taste like how chicken soup smells.

What is "Woody Breast Syndrome?" If it just means "Nasty rear end Chicken" then I get it.

Captain Log posted:What is "Woody Breast Syndrome?" It's a harmless but weird mutation in a good percentage of factory birds that gives their chest muscles a weird, tough, fibrous texture. Like if big chunks of the breast meat were made of cartilage or something.

Halloween Jack posted:Did they just throw whole frozen chicken breasts in the wok? I can see that. They honestly might've done, I peaced out at that point from what I remember. I think it was partly psychosomatic, knowing just how cheap the chicken was, and partly a load of teen mothers attempting to cook for the first time in an enclosed space. I did sometimes used to cook a really good stew and dumplings, with rosemary and chicken thighs, but I just couldn't find any locally that I felt good about buying.

As a bird lover, I sleep a little better at night as well.

She owns the joint now. Once our hens managed to access the kitchen, there was no going back. Even now when we keep the kitchen door nearly closed, Molly has learned to push against the door to open it (and then they all troupe in and get treats 'cos that's what we do here).

Joburg posted:I’d guess molting. Sometimes they do a stealth molt and it’s hard to tell. We had Dorothy in the house the other night for observation and she lost a bunch of under feathers. I can’t tell she’s molting unless I look pretty closely though. Starting to see feathers scattered around the garden, so they've either started moulting, or pit-fighting!

a new little dude has arrived in the coop!  his name is kestrel. he's never been handled in his life - the guy i got him from said he got picked up once to go from the incubator to the brooder, then from the brooder to the aviary, and never touched by human hands aside from that - and is completely terrified of me. i was warned he is an "alpha male", and both his eyes are scarred, with one looking like he almost lost it at some point. when i put him in the coop yesterday, he jumped frantically on scrubby and egret, but then moose bashed him up and he went off and hid in the corner. now everything is peaceful. when i gave them their breakfast this morning and he was hiding, scrubby wandered over and pecked him on the head, and he followed her to where the crumble was and they ate together. i think he's going to fit in.  pictured: an alpha male perepelki fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Sep 27, 2021 |

kestrel's previous keeper was an older gentleman who wasn't really up to the task of chasing escaped quail. i carried kestrel out to the car, he popped out of my hands and landed on the ground, and the guy just immediately went in the most resigned voice "oh well! if he goes, he goes!"

 There’s poop everywhere! All the chicks arrived alive and they are in really good shape. The Meal Maker free chick is a Cream Legbar pullet according to the website. The black and yellow Jersey Giant chicks are soooo cute! They all move too fast for an in-focus picture though.

 next week i'm buying three day-old quabies from the people i got kestrel from. this year i'd decided not to incubate any more eggs myself, but i was informed about these chicks when they were already mid-incubation, so of course i couldn't resist. i'm slowly rebuilding the flock - this will take the number up to seven, a nice lucky number.
