Tony, thanks. You'd be surprised how many think it comes from the grocery store. Somebody's got to raise it, process it, package and freeze it. Then ship it to your store. I skinned this one. Most you buy are plucked. I noticed this D2 blade had some stain spots on it. So, even in my dry climate a near stainless, high carbon steel requires extra care just being left in it's sheath. More care for less Cr content. DM
Crazy story my grandfather is Chinese but he was born in Mexico. He's lived in NYC since 1970 though. That said he was employed for a very long time at a Hispanic live chicken market.cchu, I'm sure they feed them differently than I do. I merely feed them the recommended feed store bagged feed correct for age. With it's standard, mostly grain ingredients and some needed vitamins mixed in. For 4-5 months. It takes time for them to grow to a nice size and they are allowed to roam. Not caged. Those folks obtain those nice plump hens in 3 months. I wonder how they do it. The broiler breeds do better but not in 3 months.? Yes, these do have really good flavor. Have you processed any? With your Buck knife? DM
