My wife's reason.

I just found out that I have an illegal (in Iowa) product on my shelves at the store.  Guess that's what I get for not going to work the past 6 months plus. :)

Box that stuff up and send it my way. I will dispose of it proper and legally. ;D ;D ;D

Since I already own it, all I gotta do is get it to my house and I'm legal. :D  Thanks for the offer though. ;D

Everthin' ya wanted to know about the differences.................

Age
Fryer chickens are 7 to 13 weeks old, while roaster chickens are 3 to 5 months old.
Size
Fryer chickens weigh between 1 1/2 and 4 lbs. Roasters are larger and weigh between 3 1/2 and 7 lbs.
Serving Size
A whole fryer chicken is typically enough food to serve three to four people, and a roaster chicken serves between five and seven people.
Flavor
The meat of a roaster chicken is typically more flavorful than a fryer.
Tender
While roaster meat is tender as well, the meat of the fryer chicken is especially tender.

Good to know!  Thanks TT!

To be perfectly honest, that beer can chicken I smoked the other night was the first 'whole' chicken I've ever cooked.   We've been boneless/skinless chicken breast snobs for a while  (maybe a wing here and there at a party) - but we're fighting our way out of that mold now!

Dang, about spilled my beer laughing at one Squirt!  :D
