LOL, you sound like me. None of ours go to freezer either. But if it got bad they would, We just like the eggs. Hubby use to hunt and can clean anything if he has to.
Yeah mine are pets first, and a wide mix of breeds so I can tell them apart. Though I did "man up" and once actually processed a large hen that the dogs killed just to see if I could do it, plus it seemed a shame to waste all the meat. She was a nice hen but not one I was close to, and I pressure cooked the meat to add to dog food.
Even after pressure cooking for 30+ minutes the meat was incredibly tough! I mean like leather, and the bones were very hard too. I knew it would be tougher than store bought but had no idea how tough. If things ever get desperately bad then chances are the chickens will attract thieves/trespassers, and their meat is likely a lot more tender.
