    Slaughter cone alternative?

    Thanks all for the suggestions and the photo! I ended up having a big 4th of July party, slaughtered some chickens, and roasted them over the fire pit, then some fireworks with the neighbors/block. It was GREAT! We ended up using some gallon juice jugs that worked quite well

    my meaties are HOT!!!!

    It started to get up to the 100's here during week 6 and 7 for my Cornish X. I think providing a good amount of shade really helped as well as an occasional "wet down" I'd mist them with water so they could feel the cool water on their skin to lower their temperature.

    Slaughter cone alternative?

    So I'm going to be slaughtering in less than a week 1/2! I want to use the cone method just because I personally think its better for the meat and is still humane for the birds. I haven't been able to find any of these cones at the local feed stores and was wondering if anyone knew of any ideas...

    How did you get your bird to be juicy and tasty?

    I'm sure this has been discussed already in this forum, but I can't find it! Can anyone tell me where I can read some information on different breeds and their flavors? I'm also looking for information on how different feed produced different tastes. Or maybe you can just tell me how you got...

    What to do with leftovers from slaughter?

    I have 5 Cornish X and I've got about 2 more weeks to go till my first slaugther (the birds are 6 weeks now)! They will be ready in time for 4th of July.
