➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Im with the Mex on this one. I can do chickens and quail, no way I could do any bigger.

I am not a good farmer, it all bothers me. Actually, I'm good with killing fish. And, I have no issues with preparing and eating what someone else kills at all. But putting bunnies in a hopper would give me nightmares.

My sister had meat rabbits when her boys were little. Without the hopper popper, the old fashioned way was to bop on on the head with a big hammer.
She had a station just off the back porch.
She had to butcher after the boys were down for their nap because rabbits scream when you hit them. She learned to wrap a rabbit in a towel and hit it hard.

She made the best roast rabbit, grilled rabbit and luscious Irish rabbit stew.

My parents had a hobby farm when I was little. I have the strangest memory of a man who came to process a pig trying to give me the curly tail because I could save it for the next time and then I'd have pigtails for my hair. I was barely 5 when we moved to the city and I still remember that!

We had rabbits, too. I don't remember them at all.

My mom used to give me the scraps bucket to feed the "yucky food" to the pigs and I remember being chased by a goat. And the time the neighbor kid brought over a handful of staples to prove goats will eat anything.

Oh, and the turkeys flying around headless! The smell of wet feathers and having to pull wet feathers out for-ev-er...

We use the cervical dislocation method and if you do it right it's really fast, the rabbit doesn't know what's coming and they don't scream at all. I think we did 15 rabbits in 3 hours, but we were slower at the beginning. They are a lot easier to butcher in my opinion than any poultry.

I don’t think I could do rabbits. They are too cute. Can’t even do birds LOL plus I heard they scream like human babies

None of the bunnies I processed made any sounds at all.

Oh well that’s good then!! Maybe it wasn’t true? Or maybe they were doing it wrong? Or maybe peta scare tactic to guilt people into not killing animals lol

Nearly had a damn heart attack. Let my birds out in the yard and noticed their stools were really dark, I was like "are they pooping blood?!?"

Then I looked closer and it was neon Blue Raspberry blue.

Then I remembered I gave then purple cabbage as a treat yesterday ..
