    Butchering a Pig (smoking too)

    We have butchered; Deer, Elk, Antelope and Turkey. But we have a chance to buy a great Pig for $150 (its from a commercial factory employee). Sooo we have a smoker and was wondering how hard is it to cure and butcher a pig? Or is it better to pay the $150 processing fee?

    So did I just kill 30 chicks??

    I dusted my chicks with 5% Food Grade Sevin. Like EVERYONE on here suggested. Now they are all twitchy, and sneezy and lethargic. I didn't get it into their eyes or beaks. But when I set them in the brooder they started pruning I feel like a pile of poop and my DH will not let me replace these

    Okay when I apply the Sevin dust. Do I apply it all over. Do I attempt to work it down do the skin? Any areas besides the beak and eyes that I should avoid? Should the bird be coated and white? Thanks

    Chickens and Affection

    My chickens like me. Well they like the treats I bring them. I have never had any of my birds show me affection. I have one gold sex link who squats for me and lets me pet her....so I guess that counts for something. My broody hens are very protective of their chicks, and they sing the...
