"green muscle" is just dead tissues... but there is no way i (or you) should eat it. you might want to consider raising meat rabbits. they are very very quiet. thanks for stopping by!<br />;-)Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-14371357431285880722016-01-01T09:52:30.000-05:002016-01-01T09:52:30.000-05:00Zoning prevents me from even having 1 chicken even...Zoning prevents me from even having 1 chicken even though I have 1.25 acres. *sigh* Question - does green muscle tissue poison the meat?

That is totally gross and I would have taken it back too. Sorry you had to go through that yuckieness (not sure if thats even a real word).<br /><br />I am glad I read your post over 7 weeks ago and purchased my first 16 meat chickens. They will be 7 weeks old this Wed. and they are growing very well thanks to your help and support. In the spring when I have a better set up I will be doing this again.<br /> After seeing that picture I don't think I will ever buy store bought chicken again. I may end up getting more sooner than spring.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.... as always lots of good info.<br /><br />LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17087051380298601978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-69358444946526359312015-11-02T12:45:03.340-05:002015-11-02T12:45:03.340-05:00yep, thanks KJ. the whole thing was surprising. an...yep, thanks KJ. the whole thing was surprising. and it's good for folks to know about their food. i like knowing my food is outside toddling around in the yard.Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-45538551740021619302015-11-02T12:44:39.966-05:002015-11-02T12:44:39.966-05:00I honestly can't remember the last time we bou...I honestly can't remember the last time we bought store chicken. We've grown our own for over 4 years. I rarely even order it out because it tastes like bleach.
