The 'squabs' I can buy in my >> supermarket are actually chickens. Wiki sez: Utility pigeons are domesticated pigeons bred to be a source of meat called squab. Squabs have been used as a food by many nations for centuries. They were bred to breed and grow quickly.[2] Because they are bred for squab production, conformation to a show standard is usually deemed unimportant. Utility pigeons are one of three main breed groupings used by pigeon fanciers. The other two are Flying/Sporting and Fancy. The characteristics of utility pigeons of most importance to the businessperson who is keeping them are rapid growth and high fecundity. > Never saw squab at the supermarket, but the baby chicks are Cornish > hens. I wonder if it is the same thing, different side of the border. |
