Re: Meat chickens
as a kid the Italian family across the street raised pigeons, why not chickens? not sure, maybe it was a city thing or because they didn't have homing chickens. but they would eat some of them and use a funnel with the small end cut off to allow the birds head thru and a straight razor to cut the head off, then hang upside down.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing
Re: Meat chickens
My grandmother would grab the chicken by the head and do a windmill motion to kill it. Picture an old lady winding up like she's pitching fast pitch softball and that's grandma killing the chicken! LOL! Then she would cut the neck and hang it on a doorknob to let it bleed out.
Sounds gruesome when you think about it, but seemed normal at the time. LOL...

Re: Meat chickens
So, if a rooster "cuk a doodle dooes" in P.R., is it in Spanish or English?Cr0ck1 wrote:Kortsman wrote:I remember as a kid my grandparents had chickens in their back yard in Puerto Rico. My grandmother would show me the one she wanted and told me to go catch it. Those things were hard to catch as a kid. A few hours later we would be eating some of the best tasting chicken you've ever sunk your teeth into!
My mom told me When i was in P.R. Bout the time i was 3 i got nosey and peeked out the window at the top of the stairs, saw a huge rooster, it " cuk a doodle dooed" and i got so scared i fell down the stairs. Lol

Re: Meat chickens
^^ Just messin with ya
So, one chick died yesterday morning. Actually wasn't looking too good the afternoon I got them. I drove back to TSC today. Told the guy one didn't last 15 hours, and I wanted a replacement. He said sorry, no warranty on live animals. Told him I did not care, I drove here to get one, give me a replacement 2 dollar chicken, it was sick to begin with. He did, now all 15 are healthy.
One thing for sure...these little fuzz balls shart a LOT!
They are putting on weight and already growing wing feathers. I'm ready for some fried chicken

My grandparents also owned a rooster fighting ring. I know that a lot of people don't agree with that, but that's normal in spanish culture. I remember as a kid the fights were held on Saturdays. The losing rooster would go straight to the kitchen and be butchered. During the week week my grandfather and I would go up to the ring and take care of the chickens he raised.
Man I miss those days...

Problem is, he lives in a condo in a yuppi-plex in Tallahasse

I would lose my mind if I lived in a condo or apt. Like Phil Robertson said..."A man needs to be able to take a leak in his own back yard"

So true..LOL, said he got the strangest look when he left to meet me in Aucilla the other morning decked out in camo carrying a shotgun to the truck, from a couple going to play racquetball at the air conditioned indoor court

Re: Meat chickens
The ones they used back then were hard plastic spurs. No razor blades. There was a prep area where the guys would file down the natural spurs on the rooster and glue on spurs with hot glue. They looked like these
The ring looked similar to this, except a little more run down.
Sorry for the derail Allen. You just jogged some memories.

Re: Meat chickens
Week 1 update.
Birds have doubled in size. Their wings are pretty much feathered and starting to get tail feathers. Had one casualty. We had the brooder inside laundry room during cold . One morning rushing to get son off to school laundry door got left open and my attack daschund killed one of them. I got a dog pen to raise them in. I need to finish it off a bit. I will be glad to get them out of my screened porch. They eat and crap a lot, BTW...

Re: Meat chickens
Just got home and every last friggin bird I had is gone. 8 weeks down the drain. I swear if I find a feather near where that neighbor's cat patrols it's a dead cat.
