    Should I keep my black cochens?

    I just paid 10 dollars for my batham cochen hen that was laying. Bird is my least favorite out of 23 and the only one who acts like a spoiled brat. Im have her for sale now for 5 bucks and thats only because shes to small to eat. Good luck selling them, there beautiful birds but i got a dud.

    Help! Too many bunnies!

    Canned meat is delicious but looks uber gross, basically youll have rabbit meat that will fall apart like tuna in the end. It works well for casserols. Orrrr you could smoke the meat an make jerky. Also easy but limited ways to use afterwords. Good luck with everything it all works out in the end.

    Caught The Thief! Don't Mess With My Orpington!

    Yes they are in the hind quarter of the animal between the muscle tissue. If i recall there in the legs, butt and lower back. They are distinct brown sacks like a chick pea mixed with tissue. Just pull the meat where the fibers and fat separate naturally and you'll find em. Best of luck

    Deer Depopulation Methods

    Caught The Thief! Don't Mess With My Orpington!

    Interesting thread, for those who have not skinned a coon do not eat it unless you know where to remove there scent glands. Your house will smell as bad as the meat will taste. I hunt and eat everything i kill minus the racoon because who knows what those vermen have eaten.

    Natural Limb Roosts

    I have cedar trees for roost and 2x4 in the coop. The birds are always on the cedar tree but it is the highest. On the plus side it does help with smell and they like to scrath the stringy bark off which keeps the smells of cedar fresh. Please post back if you find any studies on this good luck...
