Show off Butchered Heritage Type Chickens.

[MysteryChicken]

This thread we all can share, & show off how meaty our heritage chickens, or how well we butchered them.
Bagged, unbagged, & cooked are all welcome.
List the age of the birds as well please?

Here's a few of mine.

1yr old Project Chameleon Hen. She was tender.

2yr old Indian Malay Rooster. Can't say how he was since we haven't eaten him yet. Also I use bags that fit a 15lb turkey.

1yr old Indian Malay Rooster I butchered today.

Not a great photo, but here’s an americana (EE) cockerel at ~15 weeks. Only about 3 pounds. First time butchering a chicken, much easier than a wild turkey that’s for sure! He tasted good and wasn’t awfully chewy.

Well, the thread is for chickens only really. But that's a good looking turkey.

To go with first post.
1yr old Chameleon Hen roasted, & cut.

Legs are missing cuz my sister grabbed them before I took the picture.

3-4yr old Silkie X Blue Face Game hen cross. (Hen)
Was supposed to be yesterday's dinner.

She was edible. Not super tough, but also the best tasting chicken I've had in awhile.

She was only roasted for about an hour, then about half hour to crisp abit.

Yeah roasting a bird over a year is chewy. I usually pressure cook
