Chicken?
Help. I need to make chicken soup, and just realized that the chicken I bought at Costco - organic - is labeled 'fryer." What is the difference between a fryer and a roaster chicken? Will it make a good soup (and a good chicken afterwards)?
TIA!

I believer fryers are smaller and younger. So size would be the primary difference. You should be fine.

the only difference is size and age. fryers have less meat bulk
it is fine for soup

Oh goodie! Thanks! I have two pretty reasonable chicken, will make soup and roast them for Passover dinner. And make matzoh kugel, and brisket, and chremsels (fried and baked flattened matzoh balls). And some vegetable. Sigh. Forgot the shank bone.
