    5 hours, alot of blood & guts but a freezer full.

    Well we finally got rid of the Cornish X's. It took 3 of us 5 hours to process 44 of the smelly buggers!! I kept out one of the smaller hens for din-din tonight and just for fun weighed her and she was 8.4 dressed!!! I can't wait to weigh one of the big roostets as we have a lot of big boys!!
