[GLLUG] Pastured chickens & Eggs

[Clay Dowling]

Last night we talked a bit about pastured chickens and eggs.  A  
co-worker has a fair number of chickens he's raising for fall  
slaughter, and if you want some you can put your order in now to  
reserve your birds.  These birds arne't fed antibiotics or growth  
hormones.  They scavenge a lot of bugs that most commercial chickens  
don't get, and the extra protein in their diet makes for a very  
different flavor.

He's selling them for $2/pound, with the average bird being 5 pounds.   
I've eaten these birds before.  The pasturing makes for a leaner, more  
flavorful meat.  If they're roasted with some moisture, such as the  
beer-butt chicken cooking style, you get a very tender bird with a lot  
of flavor.

I have four birds on order that should be showing up soon, so I figure  
I'll grill a couple for GLLUG in July.  You can try the birds then and  
see if it's something you want to buy.
