    I like a chicken who has a good range of hobbies, I believe that is a described as a free range chicken, I also like them to have a good sense of humour and a healthy interest in politics, looks I do not think are so important....

    I would have thought that the main thing you look for, Colin, is whether or not it is defrosted! :rotfl:

    :eek: Killing them anyhow isn't torture? :rotfl:

    Fine plumage and the ability to shake its tail feathers.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Price, and that the packaging isn't bloated.

    I leave the food chicken picking to the OH, she does most of the shopping.
    Funnily enough it was only last night she showed me this

    Food for thought perhaps.
    I don't want any animal that I'm going to eat to have been mistreated, to have been kept in poor conditions, or to have been "tortured". I'm not squeamish about the death part, but death should be as quick and painless as possible. And that's aside from any legal considerations.

    Stuffing, usually.
    Although we usually tend to do a tray as the internal volume doesn't quite match what three teenage lads can eat.
  • Talking about 'internals', never could stand seeing the giblets even when i did eat meat.

    I leave it up to the Mrs......I only baste the chicken in the slow-cooker, and cut it up when it's ready.
