So, , now those look to be some nice sized birds, what kind did to raise?
I am thinking I need to raise up some turkey's, OR.......................................... ???????????
my son has 5.6 kids (4 boys, baby due end of feb.), We have 9.6 grandkids.. Daughter #1 lives in Missouri, they dont come here much.
When I cook a family meal and my girls#2 & 3 drive up with their family's,
I am feeding 6 kids , 8 adults and D-in-law parents- so 16 of us. Last April I made 50 BBQ chicken legs, the kids ate 40 of them.
