Cut up one of our freedom rangers. Too windy to mess with the grill, so I baked them. Wife made fried rice.
'bender,
was that a bird left over from spring or summer? Or just "old".
On your recommendation, I might see if I can get a few this year. Feed store should be getting chicks in soon, so I'll have to make up my mind. Not sure I want to start any for a few weeks as I go under the knife for a new knee in a week.. But if I can get a late group, I can butcher them before fall maybe.

Geno Whole frozen bird from last summer. We raised a dozen.
Having been tbrough tbe TKA biz (2x), I'd recommend waiting at least 2 months post sx before getting birds. Does your feed store have arrival dates you can order for?
We typically get ours early June. Start them in a kid's wading tub in the garage for about 2 weeks, and then move them to the pen outside. We butcher at about +/- 9 weeks.
