    .....but here in Germany i have discovered what they call "soup chicken" -and it is a whole chicken... i haven't yet tried one -and with how much soup i make and at 99c -about 75p -i think i should :D ... i think they are basically just "layers" that are too old to do so now.....
    ....they are a god send... not sure why we don't see them often in the UK :confused:

    These used to be known as 'boiling fowl' here - don't think we see them as often these days - but they may still be available from smaller butchers or maybe organic/farmers shops.

    When my grandparents kept their own chickens (50's), any birds that had stopped laying would finish up 'in the pot' - pity the damn nasty cockerel never outlived his usefulness :mad: - would have enjoyed picking him out of my teeth!
