    First Butchering Experience...Have Q's!!

    Thinking back on the whole process, I'm just not sure now if I had ruptured the bile sack ... I don't think I did, but seeing as I didn't know what I was really doing and was quickly learning while doing (not the best method with cleaning chickens), it is very possible. I'm very sure the...

    First Butchering Experience...Have Q's!!

    @ Tracydr: I thought that was the problem, I could taste the smell long after trashing the bird, I SHOULD have gone with my gut feeling on that one, but with a combination of stupid things I trudged on. Rediculous and a no brainer I know, believe me I kicked myself pretty good on that one for a...

    First Butchering Experience...Have Q's!!

    Thank you for your feedback, I knew I should have done something other than let it sit on the counter, even with hub's insistence. I thought the bird had a funny smell before cooking, but I didn't think the smell was really repulsive until it started cooking. You are right though, I should have...

    First Butchering Experience...Have Q's!!

    Thank you for your quick reply. I am pretty certain that I had completely removed the kidneys and the lungs. I had repeatedly scraped the cavity until nothing else came out, and even looked several times inside to be sure nothing was left. The gall bladder I am not so sure if I noticed it when...

    First Butchering Experience...Have Q's!!

    This is embarrassing, but please bear with me as I tell this. I am highly dissapointed in our first time processing chickens for our lack of knowledge, the stupidity of not researching better, and allowing this spur of the moment butchering to occur, from the result of a chicken-angered husband...

    Does a loud chick indicate a possible roo?

    Quote: : Iaso have a crazy peeping girly (just shy of 4 wks old now), and have always found that the brooder crate was in need of something when I check. Be it an empty food dish, shaving stuffed waterer, spilled water in the shavings or the crate's bedding is ready to be changed (which is...

    Little story of the Incident that cemented my decision to get hens...

    I'm new to the chicken scene myself, I've got 5 almost 3 week old chicks that live in my dining room right now and they are wonderful to have a round. We will start on a tractor coop this weekend. We too have wanted to be self reliant and teach our kids where food really comes from, and we are...

    My chick is an escape artist :)

    Once he's better he will look so handsome with his full plumage when they grow back out. So cute, that he wanted to play with the others.

    Almost two week old chicks, found DARK & TARRY brownish red droppings

    @ChurkLover: They are eating Purina Start & Grow (Medicated which I bought myself and non-medicated-which is the first bag I recieved free with the chicks). Their bedding is Drynest Pine Shavings, and they are using a metal feeder for their food and a self-watering dispenser, both of which I...

    Almost two week old chicks, found DARK & TARRY brownish red droppings

    I'm completely new to chickens and I have 6 almost two week old chicks, just noticed yesterday night, that there are dark and tarry brownish red droppings in their crate! I'm not sure if it's coming from only one chick or more than one, and am worried about their health. Watching them, nothing...

    Newbie here

    Hi, sorry about your missing chickens, hope you find the culprit. Try some electric wire along the top and bottom on the outsides of the fence, may help with your thief.
