Anyone else feel like this?

My husband's fine with butchering our naked necks as well -- not because they are ugly -- because they are full-sized. He doesn't like quail because he thinks they are too small to be worth the effort to butcher. Also doesn't want to fiddle with little quail eggs at breakfast.

I used to think the same but mine were surprisingly fast and easy to butcher. I just cut the spine out and the organs come right out lol

Also.... quail egg scissors

You do have to fiddle more with the eggs, but quail lay like crazy. I feed all the quail eggs to our dogs, hard boiled shell on or as is. They love them.
Quail are VERY easy to butcher, and SO tasty, definitely worth the effort.

Quail are sooo tasty! Even wild quail = !

I suspect my husband would have that issue. He doesn't like snow crab legs because they're too much trouble to eat.

I have developed a deep and complex reverence for my cornish x broilers. I love and respect them, but not like pets. Let me explain.

I am from Brooklyn, NY. 2 yrs ago my wife and I bought 5 acres and began our journey to self sufficiency. These meat birds have completely upped my self sufficiency game. They give me the ability to provide nutritious meat for my family. They allow me to stop participating in factory farming by buying not buying chicken at the grocery store. I feed them, they feed me. It is so simple and beautiful.

They may be a little ugly, and oily, but they are clean and respectable and they changed my entire perspective on the food system and how I can be a part of it. I love these birds. Thank you little broilers. I am honored to give you a wonderful life when you are around, and thankful for all you give me, tangibly and spiritually.

Am I a crazy hippie? Overthinking it? Anyone else feel this way?
