I live on the outskirts of Phoenix, AZ in a rural type setting. I’m on 1.5 acres, so a large lot, and my chickens are probably 150-200 feet from my house and I don’t hear them.

You should give it a try, it’s a little work but not much for the peace of mind that you know exactly how you raised them. I’ve been raising chickens for about 5 years. I keep anywhere from 15-25 chickens, one rooster the rest hens. I raise Plymouth Barred Rock chickens, there decent dual purpose birds, decent egg layers and get to a decent weight for butchering, a bit on the small side compared to Cornish Cross, which are the large store birds.

I hatch my own replacements, keep the best and eat the rest. I’ve been trying to go with a 2 year cycle, where I cull all chickens 2 years old and older, if I gave one a reprieve, that’s where they usually max out on egg production it falls after that. So I end up with a range of ages in my flock from chick, to yearling, to mature 2-3 year old hens/rooster. The new hatching I grow them to about 16 weeks on 20% protein feed, I might go to 30% to see if I get better growth, then cull the ones I don’t want to keep. Those butchered at the 16 week I label them as fryers, they more tender and can be grilled of fried, older ones I label a stew birds.If you use high heat on old birds they get tough and chewy, not fun to eat. Made a mistake of letting a few roosters get to about 6 mounts old and butchered them, then grilled them up. They were still tough and chewy at that young age but that might be more due to their hormones kicking in.

Stew birds I break it down into individual parts and cook low and slow in a slower cooker for 6-8 hours with onions, carrots, garlic, parsley, thyme, black peppercorns, bay leafs and a splash of vinegar. Remove meat from bones and shredded chicken in all kinds of meals. I return the bones to the slow cooker and cook overnight adding water if needed to make homemade chicken broth.

Here’s a walk through tutorial for the butchering process if your interested.

Saw the headline and immediately thought this is for the grift.

He’s already started.

"How can you have any rights without the Constitution!? " (still in the Floyd vein)

It’s an old anti-drug ad from USA.

the removals, which were carried out under a 1798 law that plainly states it is only operative in the context of a declared war.

Didn’t read the whole article to see if it touched on this, but I have to wonder if Trump declaring drug cartels as terrorists plays into this. Obviously, most if not all are probably not part of the cartel, but it doesn’t seem to take much for this admin to loosely tie people to their out groups and the other branches not to push back.

So that’s what happened when I plugged my 120 V appliance into a 240 V outlet, I released the magic smoke.

He’ll write a book and go on tour, gotta cash in.

An attempt to appeal to U.S. conservatives maybe? You know all that 1776, 3%, ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ etc. sticker suckers.

It’s like watching Jan 6th all over again but in slow motion.

That’s the point, you bring it to a screeching halt and they then need to come to the table. But without the social safety nets other developed countries have, people here are reluctant to push back hard. There will eventually be a tipping point in my view in the future.

We’re trying to make it great but some just want to drag us backwards. Fuck you Sinema.

Wouldn’t be surprised if it gets tied to income

But tortillas are considered an unleavened bread, bread in the most general term is just flour and water.

Don’t look up!

Republicans should keep their word.

Hahahahaha, have we learned nothing over the years.

Training routine for next year.

You can also use a large plate the same way.
