    How to Peel Chicken Feet?

    We slaughtered 22 roosters and I kept the feet. I've read how the feet make a good broth, but you have to peel them. Ok, so I got my pot boiling, dropped feet in and let the pot come back to a boil. I let them boil for 3 minutes, took them out and put them in cold water. Proceeded to peel the...

    Need Some Help on Pekin Duck Age and Weights

    ~~I butchered 2 Pekins today. They are 7 weeks old and dressed out to 3 pounds each. I have read a lot about Pekins lately and I think they should have weighed more. I have been feeding a 20% crumble for ducklings. I guess I should have waited a few more weeks, but they are supposed to be ready...

    Are You Happy With Where You Are In Life?

    I read an article today on Yahoo news about a 60+ year old woman living in a friend's basement apartment, while her 87 year old father traveled the world. The article went on to say how those who grew up in the Depression were more frugal, had better jobs that paid pensions, were able to save...

    Does Anyone Use a Great Pryenees to Protect Against Hawks?

    I live in town and keep our girls in the backyard. I was given a Great Pyrenees several years ago because she was killing her previous owners chickens. It took over 2 years, but she is now their protector, not their killer. She keeps away feral cats, raccoons and opossums. I have been able to...

    Do You Consider Yourself a Prepper? Extreme or Just Slightly?

    Like many of you here and on BYC's sister sites, I have a garden. Not a big one, but enough to get a lot of our food from. I dehydrate, can or freeze the extra. Most gardeners do. Does this make me a prepper? Or just someone smart enough to preserve the extra that I have been blessed with...

    What Really Grosses You Out?

    It is with great amusement I read posts pertaining to chickens pecking at various kinds of poo, dogs eating all kinds of poo, goat bucks peeing on their faces (cologne if you are a doe ) or "just moved--huge cockroaches" and all the other things that give people the heebie-jeebies. I have taken...

    Are You a Good Tipper?

    When you go out to eat, do you leave a generous tip or not? My DH has a good strategy for good service--he tips up front. He can be a little demanding, but after getting their tip, most waiters and waitresses are so surprised, that they do all they can to make him happy. In the 17 years of...

    Ever Watch Your Girls Settle in for the Night?

    My girls are so funny. Robin, the top hen has the best spot on the roost. She guards it against all others and pecks them in order to keep her place. The older hens still sleep every night on the older, smaller roost. I built a bigger roost when I got more chickens, Robin is the only one of the...

    I bought SLW, but WHAT did I get?

    I wanted Silver Laced Wyandottes and found some in a neighboring town feed store. A friend's son lived close by and he bought some and brought the chicks to us. I was so excited, but as they grow, they are the UGLIEST SLW's I have ever seen. Or not. Maybe they are beautiful SOMETHING ELSE. But...

    Tail Question

    Why is the tail not cut off? Why pluck it, cut out the oil gland and save it? I don't know anybody that ever ate the tail. Do ya'll save the tail or cut it off? I just processed 8 roos, and I cut the tail off.
