    How to rest birds without fridge space?

    We are processing half (11) of our Cornish cross this weekend. This will be our first time ever. We are skinning then and plan to cut them in pieces. I'm wondering how we can rest the birds for the recommended 24-48 hours if we don't have room in the fridge? Letting them rest after we freeze...

    Dried, dirty feathers under tail - advice?

    I've honestly never seen a hen with a bottom this dirty! Have you dewormed your flock recently? It could possibly be worms
