Well even if the boiling pot is always stewing, you'll have some good tasting chicken. Just curious what you use for feed though?
I know when we had chickens (a commercial operation) the feed they were given had arsenic in it. This was to get the chickens thirsty so that they would drink more water, and more water made them fatter quicker. They would often get so fat in 8 weeks time that the added weight would break their legs. Some times we shipped birds at 7 weeks just to keep this from happening.
I thought putting arsenic in chicken feed had probably been banned by now, but I recently found out that its still being done. I don't have birds, but if I did I would use cracked corn or an organic feed I think. I'm not trying to scare you,I just assumed that it was a practice that was no longer done.
We have switched over to buying organic chicken at the store and not just for Alyson, but for us too,and the taste difference would surprise you. I'm not a big promoter of organic chicken, so the difference has got to be pretty different for me to say so.
Again Barry, I am not telling you what to do, but it may be in your best interest to carefully select your chicken feed. It actually angers me that they are still adding arsenic to chicken feed.
