We were out and about in Western North Carolina and saw these guys at a duck pond. It's next to a wildlife rescue, and while they don't *allow* folks to dump off their unwanted farm birds there, the presence of pekins and khaki Campbells in the pond suggest that folks do. So, wondering about the...

I posted about plucking my jerk rooster last night. After reading a bunch on here last night I decided to just keep it simple and skin him, and then slow cook the snot out of him and then can, mostly because he's somewhere between 12-16 months old. Once I got him skinned I realized he's pretty...

I'm not new to butchering chickens, I raise all my Roo's to eventually be dinner. I do a batch each spring and fall as they grow. This guy went after my three year old so he gets an early ticket. Anyhow, since I do it by myself and my kiddos are usually around I usually just skin them as that's...

Hey y'all. I've been keeping chickens for about 4 years now. I just had a mystery broody hatch out 9 babies, so I think I'm up to thirty? I also have a dozen ducklings, two dogs, a cat, a husband, and three mostly feral children. 💚 Um, I don't remember all the welcome questions, but I've spent...
