They must save the very well plucked birds for export – because I live in Montreal and 1/2 of chicken preparation time is pulling pin feathers and singeing the bird.

In Montreal the birds may not go through mechanical processing – including plucking – everything is done by hand or it will not be certified Kosher, as the Vaad here is very strict. But.. the birds are delicious.

I have friends in Ukrainian Jewish Community who are trying to start Kosher Turkey production. They were told that North America and Israel are the two major countries that deal with the Kosher Plucking equipment. I really wanted to help them out and find leads to the Kosher equipment manufacturers.
Any help is muchLY appreciated!

As I posted above, RachelMolly, if you ask Fischer Bros, they can usually track it down, especially in the fall.

I have tried to obtain Kosher goose in NYC but to not avail, not even GLatt Mart in Brooklyn. Anyone know where I can get it? I tried some online searching, but also no luck.

Antibiotics of their lack has nothing to do with chickens being kosher. If your parents didn’t know their chickens were kosher, then I can guarantee that they weren’t. It’s not the sort of thing you can not notice. The shochet kind of gives it away…

I am 58 years old and-my parents ran a chicken farm with over 2000 of them….in Everett, Wa. I did NOT know in 2007, they would be considered “Kosher”, they never gave them any antibiotics then….my parents are both gone now, I believe they would think it “neat”….you have a GREAT site….
Oh by the way, the question came up because I am having Kosher chicken for dinner…
GRINS,

In the old days a goose was one of the most useful birds to be eaten, because practically every part of the goose could be used in some way as food or around the house:
1. The meat – (not a whole lot compared to the size of the goose but still a decent amount).
2. Liver- more liver than you’ll get out of a chicken.
3. Feathers – for filling pillows or blankets
4. Bones – For making soup, just look at the size of that neck bone.
5. Veins, sinews – for sewing.
6. Fat – Literally a bucket of fat will drain out of cooking a goose. It can be used as schmaltz or as cooking oil.

joe,

I once talked to the Fischer Bros butcher once who said he usually gets in a bunch of geese (6-8) right before Thanksgiving. The problem is that you have to buy the whole bird, which at like 8 dollars a pound, is like a 60-80 dollar investment, and with NYC kitchens being the size they are, storage can be a bit difficult. I bought duck instead. :-)
