Where do all the boys go?

[Guest]

I'm talking poultry here.

I'm currently roasting a chicken for lunch, and I turned and said to hubby, "She's almost done."

Then I thought: it is a she, right? Where do all the boy chicks go?

McD's?

KFC?

One cockrel per farm is not enough.



Equality for Roosters!



I know, I know, they get eaten, but...

It's still sad.

 

[ruminator]

Some measures of equality are not desired



Heya Lou

 

[carsonshepherd]

chicken mc nuggets, baby!

roasters are usually female because they're plumper. Fryers are often male because cut in pieces, plumpness is not so important.

(farm boy goes away now.)

What's really sad is that if they're destined for the table they make them capons first.

Heya Lou

I bet the girly ones don't say that.

Heya Rumi! Now get back to you know where.

AHA! And now my pondering can end. Thank you.

That's what hubby said, except he used the "poussin" word. Pervert.

Oh,...sure.....just take what you want......use me and send me away.




I'm going back down, now.

I believe they are called cocks.

Isn't Boychicks yiddish for young boys?

Oh but it is!

Maybe it's just me, but calling my supper "he" or "she" kind of affects my appetite.

Lassie is always played by a male dog. Gender discrimination in the workplace is a multi-species problem.

My wife always gets so upset when I call hamburgers, "Cow Burgers".

 

[scheherazade_79]

I agree with Vella - women definitely do taste better

But Lou... is all this true? Are the chickens we buy from the butchers and from Tesco's all female chickens? To be perfectly honest, despite having my hand up a chicken's ass on average once a fortnight, I've never thought about looking to see if it had a winkie or not.

What a fascinating thread!

 

[Rotational]

Umm, a chicken is a male. An adolescent male, before he turns into a rooster.

Kinky Brits.

And what the hell is a fortnight?

Did you look between it's tiny little legs?

Now I'm really confused. So what happens to all the women roosters?

And what the hell is a fortnight?

A fortnight is two weeks. And I wasn't being kinky - I was stuffing it!

They make more roosters with the few male roosters that survive.

Or alternatively make the raw ingredients for omelettes.
