    Thanks! It's been a long process. Coyotes and hawks are the main ones around here. The coyotes have been getting more brave lately.

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hey all! Like most here, life has gotten busy. I'm getting ready to move and trying to figure out the best way to move my chicks. A few weeks ago a coyote came right up to the house mid day while the girls were out and took 2 of them. One more had a good chunk out of her side and she of course...

I have been planning on getting some meat birds to start processing on my own for the fam since I would really like to be more self sufficient. It has been in the plan but don't really...

    Meat health of processed bird

    I just processed my first two birds. More out of necessity than planned but it has been a good learning experience for the future. The second bird had some dark spots throughout the process so I was wondering if anyone could tell me what they are and other things to look for when processing a...
