Not Just Eggs

Last month we blogged about the backyard chicken craze. At that time, we noted that some New York based members of the family had established a flock. Well, it turns out that chickens provide more than eggs. Once my brother-in-law determined that they owned three roosters (which is two too many), he set his mind on a chicken dinner. The way he tells it, one can behead, pluck, gut, stuff, and roast two chickens in as many hours. Now my brother-in-law is well known for his squeamishness when it comes to blood and guts, so if he can do it without breaking a sweat, it should be a good option for most homesteaders. When it was all said and done, I asked him how it tasted. He answered, predictably, "like chicken."
