Hello Im Mel! Glad to be here! Im an Adolescent Psychologist from Oklahoma and Domestic Violence survivor and advocate.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I got a few chickens shortly after I escaped a dangerous situation 3 years ago, mainly as a reason to get out...
Butchering is super easy on quail, much simpler than a chicken. You got this..its part of the process and actually really interesting. Found some neat looking "in process" eggs over the years.
