LOL! Had to offer to help you reduce your turkey population!

You can help me unload some eggs later lol

It’s awesome! If you can an old chicken, the meat will still be stringy. There’s no getting around that. But I canned a turkey, and began using the meat in everything just because it was so handy. It’s also delicious because it’s nice and moist. Btw, you don’t have to add water/broth when canning raw meat. It makes its own broth.
I also use the pressure canner to make stock. It takes about ninety minutes.

Ooo i never thought to do broths in the pressure cooker! Thanks!

The first bug eyes babies of the year! 2 out of 3 hatched. Little bourbon reds Both are scheduled to leave next weekend. The people asked if I'd hold them till next weekend so the babies can learn to eat and they can get things set up and ready at their house.

I hadn’t either until someone mentioned it to me.
The difference is amazing when you see them side by side. I never thought about stock vs: broth. Now I always use the pressure canner to make the stock, and of course can it afterwards.

Haven't been on for awhile. Hope everyone is doing well! Here are my turkeys all grown up!

The next blue one I've always thought was a boy but now I'm thinking girl. I'm guessing it should be obvious I think I had myself fooled. Really wanted a blue boy.

Yoopergirl...they look good!

I love seeing the babies! Always makes me wants some...sigh. I need to focus on my puppy. That's what I'll keep telling myself!

One of the ladies on another thread cans chicken
@BullChick can you give us some feedback on canned meats?

If I take the time to roast the bones for the stock it get's really rich.

I am wondering how the Owl died......

IDK, but assume the Tom's killed it.

I`ve got fertile eggs from my BBB in 2017, got some nice toms.

Do fertilized turkey eggs look like fertilized chicken eggs? With the bullseye?
