Honestly, not a bad call.
They are cheap (loss leaders if you got a costco card) and they will feed a family for a night. Remainder of the carcass can be made into stock and that will make you way more than the asking price of the same liquid from your local grocer. Fresh home-made stock will bump up any rice or noodle soup you want. Plus, what you dont use quickly can be frozen into soup cubes.
Its easy to cook (if not a bit time consuming) to get $30 worth of stuff from a small $10 bird.
I would personally argue that turkey is a better poultry, but the american thanksgiving roast is the worst way to cook most parts of the bird.
And you mentioned Costco, which is only a $5 bird. Which is insane. Last one I got fed me for three days.
And soon, thanks to our dear leader trump, you can get one with food stamps / EBT.That is If you didn’t get kicked off food stamps by the recent cuts in the OBBB that he also passed…
Valid.
Burrowing owls are pretty cool
Reminds me of a line from an old British sitcom (I think it was Men Behaving Badly, but I’m far from certain):
They asked me to name a bird with a long neck. Apparently “Naomi Campbell” wasn’t right
