A former colleague used to raise exotic chickens in Scottsdale or Cave Creek. He used to sell the eggs to local restaurants who needed high-quality eggs.

I have about 35 Buff Orpington hens that just started laying back in January. I bought them as day old chicks back in July. This weekend I have about 30 roosters left that I need to ‘process’.

So, that should be about 6 more cases of canned chicken (I already have enough frozen) another 3 cases of chicken broth and about 16 pounds of chicken scrapple, will probably make some chicken breakfast sausage links too. Then the bones go through the chipper/shredder and into the compost pile, along with the feathers and feet. Waste nothing!
