    That's a lucky chicken! Not many of them get to use diamonds as grit! Betting the gold or silver won't last long though...

    Chronicles of Raising Meat Birds - Modern Broilers, Heritage and Hybrids

    That's pretty much what I was thinking. It would save the waste but still be easy to process that way. Might even be able to scald just the wing tips using a pot of water on the stove and tongs which SHOULD loosen up those feathers that are sunk into the meat and help them skin off better to be...

    Chronicles of Raising Meat Birds - Modern Broilers, Heritage and Hybrids

    With all of the discussion on wing tips and flats being hard to skin because you would also have to pluck them, I wonder if the feathers would cause any issues with making stock. Just snip those ends off like normal, then take that chunk of wing with it's skin and any feather shafts that don't...

    If you get one that is doing it, it will probably do it more if you put salt on it. You can make frogs legs (no frog attached, just legs and butt) freak out like that if you sprinkle salt or soy sauce on them.

    Window? What's a window? Technically my office has windows along 1 whole wall, but they just point into the rest of the building.... Yeah... it's annoying. I'm waiting for someone to say something about my rubber ducky that I put on my desk while I'm at work. I put it IN the desk when I leave...

    And quail are a lot shorter cycle time with about 2 months to breeding age, can get a lot more generations a lot faster than with chickens.

    All of mine say to cook it first. Really, it's up to you. If it's your bird and you know it was processed cleanly, then I would say go for it if you want, I would be skeptical about doing that with grocery store birds.

    Only needed for poultry and pork. Beef can be dried raw

    Thanks for the details, I've never dried poultry but I did know you did NOT want to do it raw in a dehydrator the same as you can beef. Wanted to make that clear before someone poisoned themselves by accident.

    Chronicles of Raising Meat Birds - Modern Broilers, Heritage and Hybrids

    Poultry jerky for human consumption should be cooked before it is dried, a little salmonella will not bother a dog but could make a human sick. Dehydrators just don't get hot enough to kill off the bad bugs on chicken, though you MAY be able to dry it in the oven by cranking the heat up enough...

    Elevation is hard on all bodies, CX are hard on their own bodies without external issues that elevation causes. There is actually a point on Everest that past that point you are actively dying due to the elevation, so that's your last rest spot, after that you book it to the top, take your...

    Probably, I actually did have some feeder mice as pets as a kid, but feeders aren't the healthiest things, all of the ones I kept as pets lasted about a year before they died from tumors.

    Chronicles of Raising Meat Birds - Modern Broilers, Heritage and Hybrids

    To make it even weirder, we got some orange colored mice one time (typically when you get feeder mice you just ask for mice and they give you however many you want without you picking anything about them) and she absolutely refused to eat them at first glance. We ended up turning those loose and...

    Snakes can also be weird about what they eat. When I was growing up, my brother had an albino kingsnake as a pet, she ate mice and didn't like them dead or stunned so we just tossed them live into her cage and she hunted for her dinner. Well, snakes don't eat when they are shedding but they...

    I got a dog one time because he ate a couch and his owner couldn't handle that fact.... Of course to his defense, he was a Husky/Malamute/Wolf cross and the genius thought he would be fine in an apartment... We already had his sister from the same litter so we were contacted when she wanted to...

    My cats have always tortured things. They actually aren't as likely to kill as to play with something and sometimes accidentally kill it in the process. They bite flies hard enough to seriously hurt them so they can't fly and then smack them around... chew the wings off of june bugs and watch...

    She's barely a puppy now! I know she has a lot of growing to do still but she's no longer a fluff ball! I had a cat when I was little that was a great mouser, she would catch and kill mice, moles, voles, birds, you name it, and cats are notoriously bloodthirsty anyway... Well, we had snakes...
