Backyard chicken people?

I have always wondered. What does gator taste like?
Honestly it tastes like big lizards such as iguanas or monitors. It is a bit hard to describe. Young gator meat has texture like chicken but flavor is more like bull frogs if you ever eat frog legs. Old gator meat is tough and a bit gamy, particularly with cuts that have a lot of fat. Gator fat is NOT tasty.

I thought you were going to go straight to:

Think I’ll take a pass if the opportunity ever arises 😂😂

I won't. I am fond enough of gator meat. The gator savory cheese cake I made was truly tasty. I will take a pass on an old gator though.

I’m just a beginning nutter, I had niwaki some trees earlier in life, just now getting back in it with 100 pine trees. This is The American Black Dragon, it’s a Godfowl of Domesticated Chicken. Recently purchased 7 laying hens. Makes domesticated chickens anti-radioactive and microbially sterile. Fighting Chickens being the koi of chickens. Much cleaner in clean situations, hence using lots of fire residual. Lot lower pressure, higher gravity like gold, much happier then any domesticated animal. I have a device installed in frameworks of earth to make Godfowl, eats a massive amount of radiation. I‘ve even seen a fighting hen attack a hawk, while having chicks. Only thing that out lives predation at location is fighting chickens.
 
Before my divorce we'd kept chickens for almost a decade straight. I don't have any now, but I'm considering raising quail in the future.

This reminds me of the quail scam in S.E. Asia. In the early 1970's the Chinese dealers went to Phillipines, Malaysia, Viet Nam, and Cambodia and bought quail eggs at very high prices and promise to buy them at any quantities we had. Then they started selling the quail growing supplies and hatching eggs. In 1972 my parents raised over 1000 quail hens and couldn't sell the eggs or the hens. We ate quails and salted quail eggs for a long time! A hard lesson learned.
 
Quail would be fun. For meat eggs or both?
Both. They take up so little space and so much cleaner you can get just as much meat with half the effort and cost.
I'm not a fan of the butchering, but it can cut food costs so much it's worth it. It does make me a bit mean about food waste though.
Kids: I don't like dinner.
Me: I didn't go through all that work for nothing, so eat your food.
Kids: But I don't want to!
Me: What was that chicken's name?
Kids: Glitterface.
Me: And was Glitterface a nice chicken?
Kids: Yeah.
Me: So are you going to just throw Glitterface in the trash?
Kids: No.
Me: Good. Now eat your food.

Yes, that was a real conversation from a few years ago.

But but.... I don't eat things I've named! Don't tell me the name.

Her name is Glitterface, and she's delicious, now shut up and eat your food!
If we had that rule we'd starve to death. My kids like to name everything.

Raising chickens really made a big difference in my kids appreciating where the stuff they want comes from and the work that goes into it.

Understandable. We had some cattle growing up, just because we had a pasture and my dad liked them. All the mamas had names and we didn't eat any, just sold the steers.
 
Keep the chickens away from your bonsai -- I have no other objections to my neighbor's pretty hens, but one of those girls is really hard on potted plants!

Every leghorn we ever had would refuse to live in the coop with the other birds, and preferred to lay in whatever random spot they could find, including potted plants. It was like an Easter egg hunt every day.
