She pinched my skin hard today trying to get my ring lol

Don’t wear anything shiny... they’ll eat it

She loves running with us

They grow amazingly fast... when I had my 7 most got to a point I couldn’t see them living happily. They got so big so fast and at 9 weeks I was wanting to butcher them. I have a Broad Breasted Turkey but I make her run with me to make sure she exercises.

I’m drinking some spiked seltzer water to wind down from today. Only time we sat today was for dinner

I’m tired now lol... we have done a ton this weekend. We just started a new feeding system too.

We did 10 cockerels. The oldest ones we did were about 9 months. I am making dog treats out of the chicken feet.

We are done. I just have to vacuum seal them. Should have pics soon. We did 3 older cockerels about 9 months old. They weren’t good breeders and quite aggressive to the ladies. They’ll be less stressed now. I always wait to see how a cockerel will do. Unfortunately one was the porcelain d’uccle...

My husband does this dispatching, I do the butchering

Butchering day is here. Sharpening the hatchet and knives. Should have some good rotisserie’s in a few hours. Some will be bantams too

I’m butchering a lot so I’ll try to get pics of everything

Think the spring or something that holds the left side down to suck out the air. I just have to hold it down when I vacuum out the air which doesn’t bother me I thought it was the gasket but it wasn’t. I pushed the left side down and it started working. I’ll buy a new one once this one doesn’t...

I’m butchering some quail and 7 cockerels this 3 day weekend. Most likely it’ll happen on Monday. I have Schofield Silver Quail and some I don’t like the looks of so I’ll use them for meat and add colors I like from new batches I hatch. I fixed my vacuum sealer... when I was sealing the Cornish...

That’s crazy!!! Good way to know who’s female or not

On my NN I got there were just a few hackles I could spot enough to say male or female. I’m butchering both though because they aren’t meeting my expectations

I just butcher any cockerel we get... I’m not picky anymore 😂 I’m more focused on the quail breeding since they’re faster growing. They also lay way better than chickens but it’s hard to make meals with their eggs😂

That definitely looks like a cockerel to me. The curved tail feathers and looks like saddle feathers as well. Are the hackle feathers pointy?

Yes so true!!!

I’m doing free range quail but they were raised by a bantam chicken. They act like chicken not quail

Thanks for explaining that. I spend a lot of time with mine and handle them a lot
