Te he….

But on the positive side, it can only get warmer!

That used to be very common here too gf…but not so much now.

Skinned rabbits always come with their heads on when bought from local butchers still. When I asked why, I was told because they look really similar to cat

I thought they left the eyes in so they would see you through the week

Good grief Flo….me thinks you’ve been spending too much time with Rary!

That's what my dad used to say about a sheep's head!

More of the roast chicken and veg for us.

Never had or seen black chicken. I've just looked them up. They don't look very appealing. We do have blue-legged chickens here (pollastre de pota blava, in Catalan) and they're regarded as good for meat and as egg layers. The ones you see in Google images look a bit photoshopped to me, tinted like old postcards.

As for the yellow chickens, yes, I'm sorry, probably corn-fed, though they don't say that on the packaging. Just that they're yellow, superior quality, 65% cereal diet. But the white ones say exactly the same, except that they're white.

And yes, GF, when you buy chicken at a butcher's, you still get the head and feet, but chopped off if you ask them to do it for you.

Scary! I was always told that as a baby (premature surviving twin) I just looked like a skinned rabbit. I'm really happy that there are no photos!!!
