What chicken breed is used to raise fryers?
The meat breeds of chicken are not really breeds at all but hybrid varieties or a combination of many different breeds. These varieties are selected to produce a strain of bird with meat characteristics that the producer desires most. Some breeds grow faster and larger and others emphasis traits such as large breast meat yield, more efficient feed conversion, or more disease resistance. The strains are often named after the breeding companies that genetically develop them, like Arbor Acres, Ross, Peterson and Hubbard, to name a few. The weakness of these varieties is that they do not lay as many eggs per hen and seldom reach egg laying age. These strains are used by broiler producing companies that commercially produce broilers sold in supermarkets. Some well know breeds used to produce these hybrids are often Cornish cross breeds with australorps or leghorn.

What makes homemade chicken stock cloudy and how can it be clarified?
The cloudiness is due to the fat from the chicken and bits of chicken, as well as other ingredients that may be in it, such as carrots, onion, celery, etc. If you want a clear stock you need to chill the stock so the fat will rise to the top. This will also harden the fat, making it easy to remove from the stock. You can then strain the stock through a strainer, which will remove small bits of chicken and any other ingredients. If you want it to be perfectly clear, you can strain it through a cheesecloth. To do this, simply line a colander or with the cheesecloth, the strain.
