Chicken ‘harvest’

 I enjoy hatching and raising them, I enjoy eating them, I don’t enjoy the part that comes between so much... but it has to be done...

I have done 9 and there will be a similar number more to do in about a month - though something has been slowly picking them off so it could be a few fewer. I saw a sparrow hawk get one, so I suspect it is that.

They are not as plump in the breast as chicken you get in the shop, this is due to the breed, but they are a lot more delicious. The meat is good and the stock from the bones also.

I made pâté from the livers. Doesn’t look great, but tastes good.
