Good job Julie!! GOod reminder to keep on your toes the entire time and not get sloppy with the knife. It will get you. BEen there, done that. DId in a scovy and 3 roosters. Two EE roosters looked like pullets all winter and avoided the knife. THe Third, an EE, was a 3 yr old EE that I rather...

You have more that needs processing????? Me thinks most of us do. lol

I use a box cutter. Invested into a large handle for safety and so changing the blades is quick as they dull quickly. I used scapels in the past, and those dull fast and are not so easy to come by. ( I have to order them.) Box cutter was a simple substitute for the scalpel.

HEnnible, I like to roast everything as it makes a richer flavor. THen into boiling water for soup. Good save! THis is a good time to remind everyone that rabies is spread via spit and saliva. So be thoughtful of what animal caused the injuries and the circumstances. Obviously most of our...

I have an attachment for my mixer and Folley food mill that might handle meat, certainly handles vegies well.

Tomtommom-- hmm. Not sure what to suggest. My 3 older birds act like they owne the place and harass even the tom turkeys , pulling out tail feathers as they waddle along chasing the toms. Perhaps they need a little encouragement to get out on the grass. Can you fence a small area to show them...

Yummy !! SO many bottled hot sauces on the market I never know which to pick. Is it very hot??

Do you use a homemade or a bottled buffalo hot sauce? if bottled, what brand name?

THey are pretty. Part of the reason I did not eat any of the first 3 birds I purchased was because my kids made them into pets. We dont eat our pets. I really suggest that you keep all these as breeder birds, then hatch out the first eggs next spring and grow them up for 8 weeks and test...

My muscovy were about 10 weeks. Plenty big enough and breast meat was surprizingly meaty. Better than any chicken I have raised so far except for the cornish crosses. THese were flying for the last week or so. I was worried that the flying would toughen up the meat, so I kept to the original...

If the comb has not faded, then you have a little time. Sooner the better though. Cleaning a dead bird is not recommended and a HUGE loss. On another note . . . We processed two batches of muscovey ducks. 14 last Sunday and 14 today. Had one for dinner. Oh so gooooood. TOok us a bit of time...

Great job!! I like the flavor of roasted so I'm with you on roasting even if stewed is the p referred method. I have several 3 years old hens I"m still working up to butchering . . . .
