?? When hens stop producing its time for fried chicken.

I don't eat my chickens, they are my pets. I let them die of natural causes. I eat the eggs.

I actually lol'd. Good show

I had 2 chickens once and they made so many eggs I didn't know what to do with them and threw most of them away

But they were german chickens so thats probably why

>>7293448
Why? Your chicken would have no qualms about eating you given the chance

That's a cute barred rock you got there, anon. They're a nice breed. Typically well behaved and relaxed.

You dont want to eat an old egg laying hen man thats some shit meat

>>7293587
They can be used for soups or at the very least stock. They're not as tender as young birds, but they are still fine to eat.

>>7293448
Don't they stop laying after like 2 years into their 8 year lifespan? I mean I'm cool with having them as pets, I wouldn't want to butcher chickens if I raised them (confirmed city-boy), but eggs seem like a short-lived benefit, unless you have a bunch of chickens and keep replenishing them.

>>7293476
Dogs and cats both. There was a story about dogs who did this the other day. But it's typically a few days after the owner has died, and the pet is fending off starvation. I'd eat pets or family members if my life depended on it too.

They're great for braising/stewing as well.

>>7293416
That's a pretty qt chicken. Would pet/10

Depends on the breed and the individual chicken. Normally they don't stop laying, they just lay less frequently.

>>7293612
This. Old birds may not be very tender but they certainly are flavorful. They're ideal for soups, stocks, or and kind of low-and-slow cooking method.

>>7293416
Winter can be tough on chickens. They normally stop laying when it gets cold if the owners isn't feeding them correctly. Though, that chicken looks a bit too young also. It probably won't lay for 1-2 more months from when that image was taken. If it isn't just young then it is underfed, which is the problem in the first place.

chicken owner here, unless you specifically raise them for eating (feeding them the right food etc.) their meat is pretty lackluster. Also plucking them is annoying and smells terrible
