It’s only my second time processing my birds, so I’m very much a newbie. We’re doing 2, a 5 month old cockerel and a 1 old hen who causes too much flock drama.
I forgot to remove food. Should I still process or do I have to wait until tomorrow? We’ve been putting this off and it really needs to happen, so I really want to go through with it today.
If I do go through with processing today, do I just need to be cautious about the crop being full? Or am I going to run into issues with food throughout the entire digestive track? We both work full time so weekends are the only days we can really take the time to do this. So it’s today, or Sunday, or we wait another week, which really isn’t ideal for particularly for this cockerel who is becoming stressed and causing stress.
What would you do? And if anyone knows of a You tube video that shows what it looks like to process a bird that wasn’t fasting, I’d like to see what it looks like. Thanks!
