Today is supposed to be our big processing day. I have 36 broilers out in the pen that need to go to the freezer. Some of them are a bit on the small side and may have to wait until next week. DH is supposed to finish up a bit of the wiring this morning On our new plucker before going to work. If that happens we are all set. I have two friends coming so, what with them and three kids, I should do okay. By the way, if anyone is making a plucker and needs a barrel, let me know.

How is Shooter this morning??

Birdbrain! Have a good time! We did ours the other day, it took most the day with just hubby and I, 17 birds. But we don't have
a plucker either. Maybe next year I can talk him into renting Tori's....

debiraymond, I just woke up and put Shooter into his glass. He's still not walking but I didn't expect him to be with such a short
time with the treatment. Still feisty though, so we'll see!

Well that is good news that he is a little fighter. I am hopeful it works.

Its not looking good for the little guy, he looks exhausted. He keeps pulling his right leg up into his belly area. The other leg looks like it was getting better but the one
he pulls up stays in that position when he's out of the glass. I'll take him out, Pull his legs back down gently and he just pulls that one leg back up into his body.....

Do you have the bandaid on him? He shouldn't be able to pull his leg up with the bandaid on.

The pad should be between his legs with the adhesive part wrapped around the leg to keep it straight.
