Update: What Became of the Meaties

We've been without the meat birds for a week-- last Friday they were put into a pallet "cage" in the back of a truck and taken to the Amish butcher. (I tried to take a photo of their final journey, but my camera phone wasn't working).

The next day, we picked up 22 processed birds which promptly went into the deep freeze when they arrived back at home. Last Friday I finally got a chance to cook one, and it was really good!

You can't have a chicken dinner without biscuits.

I weighed six of the birds, which ranged from 5-6.4 lbs. for their finished weight. While I did not really enjoy raising these chickens, the final product is pretty tasty.
