    Butchering a goose the same as a chicken? UPDATED W/ UGLY COOKED GOOSE

    the main difference to me was that geese have stronger, thicker necks. my first kill wasn't clean because i was not prepared for that. so i will pass that on, to make it better for all involved.

    What to do with extra roos...

    she seems to be fine with people eating them, just saying it's hard to do herself. giving free meat to hungry people is a good thing.

    What to do with packing peanuts.

    they have made a lot fo changes on craisglist trying to defeat spammers. i just checked and now on mine, even the free needs an account. if peole are in an area where spam is not a big problem, then the changes might not have come to your area yet. ours went from no account needed ever to...

    What to do with extra roos...

    What to do with packing peanuts.

    What to do with extra roos...

    while well intended, it's perhaps misleading to think that every unwanted rooster will get a "good home" when the folks who brought him into this world can't do that themselves. if you can find that, great, but more realistically is to offer them for free and if you don't want to know, don't...

    dog attacked chickens...

    even the tiniest chihuahua i used to have who weighed three pounds dripping wet would pluck, albeight very daintily, feathers from chickens. it really can't be overstated that it's not just playing with them. playing with them leads to death. my cat is fine with the chickens. if one of my dogs...

    Update: Pet hen needs to be put down humanely. I need to know how.

    sue ellen is right on the money. managing your flock is a "highly FUNCTIONAL love.. anyone can snuggle a chick, but not everyone can do what you are going to do for her." the original poster said clearly that she had more and larger birds in the same set up before AND that she was going to be...

    Update: Pet hen needs to be put down humanely. I need to know how.

    the link said it wasn't recomended for animals over two pounds. i only bring this up becuae a failed experience where you had to resort to something else would be quite distressing.

    whatever you decide, i'm sure your chicken has had more chance at life than the average one. so, don't feel bad whatever way it goes.
