Just because something can be done, does not mean it should be.

This thread is timely. Heard women complain that Freeper males have breasts on their minds all day.

Makes me so glad I raise chicken, cows, etc. on my little plot of land in the rural country of SE Virginia.....

if we do not kill chickens any more to eat them, then what do we do with all the chickens that will be around?

Hey, remember when Dolly Parton fell down on stage
and it took four men to help her off.

Yep, two abreast!

Gross.

This crud will be jammed down our throats whether we like it or not.

For a $1.70 I can grow a breast?

WHITE MEAT ONLY..................

2$ a breast, already cooked, is the current supermarket price. Making meat cells without having to have the rest of the Chicken is pretty neat. It could lead to cheap custom made organs down the road. Imagine replacing your heart every 40 years or so like an oil change . So much awesome stuff on the horizon if only we could only defeat the Communists at home .

We did a batch of meat birds several years ago and have currently 5 meat goats with more on the way in a few months. I’m wanting some Kunekune pigs for some fat content. I’ll have to look into doing another batch of meat birds. We did Red Rangers and hunting season postponed up our processing date so we had to feed them an extra week plus they take longer and cost more to begin with compared to Cornish Cross. We ended up at $5-6 per bird that were big enough to be considered roasters instead of fryers. I went in on them with a neighbor who simply wasn’t going to have hunting season interrupted. Even Cornish Cross are getting up there in price for day old chicks. Should be able to keep it down close to $4/bird for fryer sized though.

If I’m going to keep symmetry I need to borrow a couple of bucks.
