I'm Satisfied

A rousing cheer to the matron of husbandry for her frugal, almost wasteless use of an entire chicken. The best part is I have now duplicated that feat!

So, yesterday I cooked a whole chicken and after processing, this is what I have left after feeding us (probably at least 8 meals total), the dogs (4 meals or more), and a tasty cooked-carrot snack for dogs and chickens:


Yay! Now those old chickens in the pen who aren't laying any more better watch out...

It might be possible to mill those down fine enough that they're safe to mix into baked dog treats...

...if not, they'll compost quite nicely.

Hmmm....like a coffee grinder with a metal blade? I'll have to try that next time. Those leftovers were kinda soft but I worried about splinters in the gut, ugh.
