WOW! Now THAT is an impressive presentation!

We’re having stuffed chicken breast for supper tonight. Just what ARE they feeding these poor roasters that grow them such big parts these days? ONE chicken breast is now enough for the two of us!

Wait! Maybe I don’t want to know...

Part of it is the breeding. One year, Rural mixed up some broiler breed with other chicks, and we ended up with a broiler hen. I called her “Big Girl”. She was huge - about 11 lbs. just before she died (early, at only 2 y/o.) Her eggs were infrequent, but many were well over 3 oz.

The bad thing was that B4 I realized the potential problem, as a chick she trampled a couple other chicks to death. :-(
