TAJ Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 So did anyone actually buy any of Judes table Birds to grow on? Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 I did ask about them (not to buy, but to look at for the future) but she didn't have any in at the time. I'd be interested in getting some in the future though, after these chicks are integrated with the 2 big girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a spring project for you I guess now. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a spring project for you I guess now. Tracy Jude told me they sell out of the table birds really quickly! Otherwise I'd have been tempted. When we were at an animal rescue centre last week looking for dogs, one had a pen with 5 white roosters in. They were only young boys, looked about 20 weeks, but big and meaty. The owner had hatched them but couldn't keep them I was sorely tempted to offer them a home, but it didn't feel quite right. What are the ethics of rehoming birds from a rescue centre then eating them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 We're just about to eat one of Jude's birds...........dressed out at four and a half pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Having heard horror stories about where young cockerels can end up I would have no qualms about taking a 'rescued' bird for the table providing I could give them a decent life first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Thanks for the reminder Lewis; here are Jude's photos from the course. A couple of Lewis in action, to prove to his mum that he DID do it! There aren't any despatching scenes, but some show gutting, so are slightly gory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
