I don't want to make anyone sick so I need to be sure it's ok or not.

I just recently learned that you can refreeze raw meat. But only if you've thawed it out in the refrigerator, not on the counter.

I haven't seen him again.
I am going to get my chickens locked for a few days up just in case.

I locked my chickens in the barn for two weeks after my recent hawk attack. My dog started barking at the hawk and went after it but then it just charged her, so she will probably never be a flock protector.

I have the turkey in the fridge.
I think I am going to go ahead and just cook the whole thing tomorrow.
I just need to decided how I am going to cook it now.

Any one make their own Hopper Popper?

^^^ Does that thing look like it is just welded together?

You too!?!?
@Sara L Do you see what you have started?

I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not. It was delicious. More delicious than the quail. And with rabbits you get a soft fur too, not just meat.

I missed this post last night.
Just how many cages and quailies do you have?

Umm, you aren't supposed to ask that... I have close to 20 cages/enclosures. I have about 64 breeders in groups of 3/4/5. I have 6 quail chicks growing out and around 8 full grown culls I was supposed to get rid of last weekend. In addition to that, I have 8 mixed breed chicken chicks, 3 blue cochin chicks, 3 black laced cochin chicks, 1 silver laced wyandotte cockerel, 1 blue wyandotte pullet, 1 white rock pullet?, 2 dark brahma pullets (still not laying but getting close to adult size), 1 dark brahma teenager that's supposed to be a cockerel, and 1 meat chicken I was supposed to butcher a few weeks ago (she might have turned 12 weeks on friday...she is huge, probably close to 10 pounds now, she was 8 pounds when we weighed her a few weeks ago).

^^^ Does that thing look like it is just welded together?

Yes, just welded together. The official Hopper Popper you can buy online is like $40 or more, so making your own would be cheaper. I know a welder or two, so that is the best option for me.

Top or back of the head? I'm starting to actually consider raising meat buns but I don't know if I could do it. They've always been pets to me. Like dogs.

Back of the head. Hard crack and they're knocked out.

Banty I don't think I could raise meat buns either. I think it's the one animal I couldn't. They are just so CUTE lol and pets to me too. Although that said I'm not sure I could do poultry either
