Prep the night before to roast the next day.

Line a sheet pan with heavy foil and a baking rack.

Finely chop 1T rosemary Mix in 1T kosher salt Zest of one lemon

Spatchcock a whole chicken (cut out the back or as a butcher to do it for you – freeze the back to throw in a broth).

Rinse and pat dry. Place chicken on rack open side down. Carefully separate the skin from the meat on the breasts and legs, keeping the skin attached.

Shove about 1/2 the herb mixture under the skin and sprinkle the rest on top of the skin. Put the bird UNCOVERED in the fridge overnight. You want the skin to dry out.

Roasting Day: preheat oven to 425’ and take the bird out of the fridge. Before putting the bird in the oven, brush it with melted butter and sprinkle with S&P. Add some water to the pan to prevent smoking. You may need to add more after 20 minutes. Roast til thickest part of the breast is 160’.

Remove from the oven and immediately eat all the delicious crispy skin. Do what you will with the meat.

Has anyone used an aquarium heater in a garbage can to heat a green house? Thoughts on using it to keep the hens warm in the cold winter nights

Has anyone ever seen this from their chickens

Does anyone know of a fast closing remote chicken door. I need one to catch a released pet that is very skittish of people and will not let people close. It's getting really cold here so I don't have weeks to gain it's trust.

Please help 🙁 9-10 weeks old

Hello,

 Due to food sensitivities Red Bird Farm chicken is the only chicken I don’t have a reaction to so I buy as much as I can when it’s available.

 Does anyone know of a way to purchase a case of the Jumbo Chicken Tenders in Bulk by the case?

Thanks

I have a six month old Kadaknath hen and a white rooster. They have been raised together and now they only spend time together and don't get involved with other chickens.

The problem is my hen hasn't started laying eggs. Her diet is good and she isn't sick. Although she doesn't let other roosters mount her, she has the white rooster with her. Any recommendations on how to help her? Could it be because of her breed?

And my rooster doesn't crow neither. He never mates with other hens and prefers to stay away from the rest of the flock(Except the black hen). Any ideas why?

Is my girl doomed to not ever lay eggs? Her waddle never came in the way the other girls’ did, and the other two have both been laying for three months now. She’s never had any other health issues except for poultry lice, which I treated with ESP four months ago. Haven’t noticed any more on her.

This is Luna! (his name is Luna because when he was younger I thought he was a girl and I can’t make myself call him by something else) I raised him since he was 4 days old and he is trained to come to me when I make a cluck sound. Luna is the best rooster I’ve ever had! I love him

I find whole chicken breast boring to eat, so I made patties today and they were much easier to eat than curry or grilled chicken. Does this still provide the same protein content?

Hello, I'm here today looking for advice/ideas.

The farm I work at has fancy chicken : they look nice, don't produce a lot if eggs and kinda easily every time one catches anything. They are here to entertain the clients that come to the farm and produce some eggs for us. I want to add stuff to their pen to either make it look nicer or have them use for their entertainment and fun. I've added a small dead tree hoping they would go on it but they don't.

We have 35 hens in a 30-40 square/m sand pen.v

Opened canned chicken and I see this weird gooey yellow stuff. Expiration date is 2027 so it shouldn’t be expired but I don’t know I’m kind of scared to eat it. I thought once long ago when I opened the canned chicken it didn’t come with that stuff. Got the can from lidl supermarket by the way.

Just purchased this from a local Walmart. It’s Walmart brand. Just need to know if it’s safe to eat

My two year old silver Wyandotte hen has recently gone lame, she’s not hurt and I’ve checked her feet and legs and vent and everything seems fine. I had a lame duck awhile ago and she died and I gave her brewers yeast on her food and a supplement in her water and she still passed :( I am losing hope for her and I don’t know know what to do please help me
