Exploring the pasture
I just had this conversation with a friend when she told me the chickens she just butchered were tough. Either eat it IMMEDIATELY or let it sit in the fridge until rigor mortis is over. You will be able to tell!

Well that explains it...we just butchered a chicken (cornish X) and ate it for dinner and although it was tasty and juicy the meat had lots of "grain" and was difficult to chew. I wondered if it was from not letting it rest and from all your comments it seems like that must have been the problem. Glad we tried a tester one before we butcher the rest on Sunday...I will be letting them sit in the fridge 3 or 4 days then.
