Processed my broilers Saturday. Ended up using a very primitive (and relatively cheap) set-up (wood fire, hand plucking and the restraining cone I bought was too small so they got strung up in a tree with nylon string!). I got something right though bc, for all the trauma those birds sustained in my "care," the roo was 6.25lbs dressed and the pullets were each about 4.5lbs! Brining one for dinner later. Planning for more in three weeks... I'll need something to eat my BSF larva and all the volunteer squash growing in my garden compost pile. Thinking about trying some turkeys with the next batch.
