What’s been going on at Homemade on a Weeknight?
Our next round of meat chickens has arrived and they are peep peep peeping up a storm in the chicken run. This time we got 50 Sasso Chickens. This breed is super hearty and can withstand both colder and warmer temperatures without a lot of extra help. They reach their full body weight (between 2.5 and 4 pounds) in roughly 12 weeks time. This will be our fifth time raising meat chickens and honestly I don’t think we will ever go back to buying store bought. One of the biggest and most obvious differences is shrinkage. Store bought chicken always shrinks way up from the raw size. It’s because there is so much excess water weight that gets cooked out. Another huge difference is the taste – is simply just tastes more like chicken. Have you ever raised your own meat chickens?

Thank you for featuring me this week!
I have never raised my own chickens but many of our friends do and I’ve always been a bit curious… but not enough to actually give it a try.
Those baby chicks are so adorable! They remind me of my years I spent teaching kindergarten. We’d take a field trip to the farm each May and a visit to see the baby chicks was always a favorite for us all
What a great experience!
