    Soak in salt water???

    I have yet to butcher a meat chicken but I have processed wild turkeys. I will follow the same procedure when I butcher my 15-25 birds. I will use a large cooler or two to start.

    Baby Chicks Behavior...Are they supposed to act like this?

    So I got my shipment from McMurrays yesterday morning....one was dead and this morning we lost another of the same breed. The rest seem OK, but when they are not stimulated, they sort of slow down under the light and pass out. It's kinda cute and kinda scary at the same time. Are they...
