Note that I make a distinction between the TAB character (which is a byte which can occur in a disk file) and the TAB key (which is that plastic bump on your keyboard, which when hit causes your computer to do something.). As to point #1: As to point #2, the tab character: there is a lot of history here.
This is my second year raising meat chickens. The first year I ordered 25 day old heavy breed cockrels. Raised them for 24 weeks then butchered them. They were different breeds and it was a little hard to kill them. They tasted okay but not good enough to do it again. The next time I ordered 25 Cornish Cross chicks.he first year I ordered 25 day old heavy breed cockrels. Raised them for 24 weeks then butchered them. They were different breeds and it was a little hard to kill them. They tasted okay but not good enough to do it again.
Last year 2008, we raised a straight run of Black Australops. Of the 29 birds we bought, 19 were cockrels. We found a farm that butchered chickens and sent 17 cockerels there to be butchered when they were 4 1/2 months old. It was not cheap-over $5 per chicken.We were more than ready to get ready of the extra cockrels. The meat is different than store-bought chicken: small breasts, leaner meat, less fat.he first year I ordered 25 day old heavy breed cockrels. Raised them for 24 weeks then butchered them.
