Not certain that 'colossal' is a recognised measurement :P The big-box
roasted chickens are listed as 3 pounds or so.

It would be colossal to a pet. Though, no, I wouldn't waste one on
them. Oh, OK, Shamrock is looking at me saying "waste???" so he could
have some.

But they are roasters, not fryers.

No roasters here. Haven't seen those in years and when I did, they
were stewing hens because they were too tough to roast.

You cannot find Foster Farms roasters out there or am I mistaken in
you being on the west coast?

Gonna get a couple roasters today. I rarely roast them whole, it's
easy to cut em up (usually eighths) and pan bake or use in myraid
recipes.

I just went to the Safeway supermarket near me. All the whole chickens
are Foster Farms Young Chicken. The ones I checked were all between 5
and 6 pounds.

I'm on the West Coast (about 25 miles from the ocean).

Before I go to the meat man and make some noise, let me double
check... these "roasters" really are good for *roasting* and are not
just stewing hens with a fancy name? Like I said before, the last
time I saw "roasters" (years ago) the only thing they were good for
was tossing in a pot of water. They were nice & plump and looked like
they should be wonderful roasted, but they were tough and
disappointing.

I will go to my Safeway(s) and ask them why they don't stock roasters
here. I want a chicken that's big enough to stuff and if I can get
one the size of a small turkey, I'll be happy. No need to go off
looking for a capon if they aren't tough.

Never heard of Foster Farms but if you're telling us that there are no

Wow! The largest I've seen are about 7 pounds. I roasted one not long
ago and made a very rich stock from the carcass. The roasted meat was
very tender. I still have the legs and wings frozen in a foodsaver bag
to figure out what to do with it. It might end up soup in the stock I made.

I wanted a 7 pounder for Christmas Eve dinner, called my usually
reliable market to make sure they had 7 pounders on hand or could get
one in for me. The idjit said they "didn't come that small." He
thought I was talking about a turkey. He then hastened to state that,
yeah, they have 7 pound chickens, sure. Sent Bill down for the chicken
and the pre-ordered Christmas Day standing rib roast and, sure enough,
the biggest chicken they had was a 5 pounder. 5 pounds? Dammit! Even
with generous sides, the family picked that bird down to the nubbins.

Actually it is possible Sheldon. Perdue is an east coast company, the

That isn't what SF said-- but I believe she can't buy Perdue in
California.

Here's what Perdue says on their FAQ page
http://www.perdue.com/util/faq.html#where-buy ;
"Where can I buy PERDUE® products in my area?
Our PERDUE® Farms poultry products are sold from Maine to Florida and
as far west as St. Louis. "

Quit being such a slacker SF- get in the car and go to St. Louis for
your roaster.<G>

I am no longer subjected to reading Sheldon's posts. Makes life
simpler.

Haven't seen 7-lb chickens locally either. Not that we've looked all
that hard.

Perdue is not on the West coast. Correct.

Foster Farms does sell roasters out west, but not in all stores or
areas.

Tyson is also a player out west and here in the east, but I do not
know much about them other than they are NOT a client.

The stores often carry their own "house brands" of fresh chicken as
well as local or specialty brands (organic, "free range," etc.") The
brands stocked and the types of fresh poultry carried ( fryers, game
hens, parts, flavored, yada yada) varies not just between stores, but
by area, too.

It gets complicated and by the time you factor in all the promos that
the suppliers run with stores and within advertising areas, it gets
even more complicated.
