Owning a farm we do....

actually a bit resistant to punture or breakage, you really have to stab them. The hens get fed ground up oyster shell for a calcium supplement.

Yellow yolks...can come from pasture grass as well. In fact...the more greens the ladies (chickens) eat ......the yellower the yolk, tinting of the
meat...and simple fine eating when that time comes around.
Until recently..we used "mobile" chicken coops. This is a coop on wheels that is move around the farm for pasture and insect controls. Our eggs are
the best.

Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Dipping the chicken in bleach sounds yucky...cooking it correctly should get all the bad stuff that the bleach would get anyway...

I think I did see a sign at Saul's market in Mulege stating:
"We sell corn fed beef and marigold fed chicken"

The first time we saw the really yellow chicken in markets on the mainland of Mexico, we did not know what to think!
But we soon found out they were delicious!
Give them a try!

I learned the hard way to never purchase chicken without sticking my nose down close to the dressed bird. It should have a sweet aroma. If it smells
dank or acrid, the skin is reeking with bacteria and virus. Lysteria is the predominant pathogen and birds should be soaked in a solution of cold
water and a tablespoon of sodium hypoclorite (bleach) for fifteen minutes prior to be prepared for cooking or storage. Rinse the bird, pat it dry and
then go...
Hope This Helps |
same thing goes for the birds at Anthony;s |

baja chickens are YUMMY!
Just like when we first got there, they told us to leave the eggs on the counter and put the bread in the refer. Opposite of NOB.
But the yellow chicken is delicious, eggs on the counter are normal, and bread in the refer is normal. Different, but normal.
Some things are unilateral-
cold beer, hot food and help others.

My cat loves raw chicken...but he won't eat the yellow Bachoco pollo. Makes me wonder about the pigmentation.

The color and texture of the fat is the result of what the chicken has been fed. Same with beef or pork.
