Free to a good home

9 month old Splash French Marans cockerel.
He's too old to eat and he's beating up my older cockerel who I am very fond of.

He's a good looking boy ... JBM would eat him ... bet he tastes like - Chicken !

Me too, the tastiest chicken for pies and pasties are those too old to roast.

 

[Frisbee]

Oh...I would love him, but too far away. I have Copper Black Marans and the occasional blue and splash.

Hope you find him a good home.

I'll give him another couple of days but you're right, of course.
He will probably be curry.
I'm just a softie.
It's my own fault...we hatched six eggs, five hatched and four were cockerels.
We ate three but as he was very pretty......................oh well.

 

[Erichalfbee]

Thanks Frisbee. We have the one hen and she lays chocolate brown eggs....lovely.

Cooked nice and slowly, no problem. I do like Marams (never dabbled with the French sort though) But SWMBO is adamant that it's rescue chicks only at Brynmair

Just realised - he's only nine months old - won't be stringy at all!!

9 months is nothing get him roasted

Who ever decides to eat him can I have the cape please

Thinking the same myself!

 

[Erichalfbee]

I suppose he'll live on as a fly....sigh

Lost and not forgotten and fresh wild Salmon tastes much better than an old cockerel

 

[Erichalfbee]

OK....I'll swap you his feathers for a nice fresh salmon

 

[dpearce4]

I would slow cook him into Coq au Vin. Its what it was made for.

 

[Erichalfbee]

He's jointed in the fridge.

 

[enrico]

Just out of interest, now he's jointed and in the fridge..... Is he still going free to a good home?
Just fancied a chicken curry tonight.

Wise move Erica. Even if it was likely to be a little on the tough side, the best way to tenderise it would be to use a beer marinade. Several pints of beer followed by the chicken curry. No one would notice if it was tender or not.

It's not every day that you can get a few days of humour, random advice and a decent meal from a cockerel.
