The thickness of the shell is not determined by the color. The age and health of the bird determines the quality of the shell. As a hen ages, her reproductive system cannot maintain peak shell making capabilities. Her system will no longer utilize the proteins and calcium she eats the same as when she was young. Eventually her egg production comes to a halt.
Hens are much older than the chickens grown for meat. The older the animal is when slaughtered, the tougher the meat. Poulets or capons for meat production usually are slaughtered at around six weeks to three months of age. Hens are slaughtered for stew and soup at the end of their prime breeding age, around one and a half years for egg layers, or 2 years for hens that produce eggs for meat birds.
Meat from a sheep older than one year is referred to as mutton. Mutton has a stronger flavor and can be tougher compared to lamb meat from younger sheep. It is commonly used in stews and slow-cooked dishes to tenderize the meat.
Meat from a younger animal is typically more tender than meat from an older animal. This is because the muscles of younger animals have less connective tissue and are generally softer. Older animals tend to have tougher meat due to more developed muscles with increased collagen, which can require longer cooking times to break down and tenderize.
The silver side of meat is tougher because it is comprised of connective tissue like collagen, which needs to be broken down through slow cooking methods like braising or stewing to become tender. In contrast, the topside has less connective tissue and is considered a leaner cut, making it naturally more tender.
In general, flatter and wider shell shapes tend to be more buoyant than rounder and more domed shell shapes. The flatter shape creates more surface area, allowing for greater buoyancy in the water. The buoyancy of a turtle shell can also be influenced by factors such as air pockets within the shell, body composition of the turtle, and other adaptations for aquatic life.
