Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

I also have naturally curly hair with an album tint. When I was young my mom would actually iron it with a clothes iron on an ironing board. No straight irons when I was in school. She would put a pillow case on it and iron it.....crazy. Now I love my curls. But I also love cabbage, tapioca pudding and seafood and I absolutely hated those things when I was young. Go figure
I discovered flat irons in high school and I went crazy. I stopped after college because my ends were constantly fried. Now, my hair is usually in a single braid. It's the easiest way to keep it contained and low maintenance. I don't really have time to fuss with my hair since I have a 15 month old.
 
I lived in SE Iowa up until a few mo this ago. Going into town, it semed like I would always get behind a turkey truck carrying them them from a large commercial farm to the slaughter/processing plant. They all looked at me like they knew they were headed to their doom! I could almost hear them saying, “Help me...!” Now I picture them every time I go to buy turkey at the store and usually get something else.....I’m such a sucker for that kind of thing!
Speaking of store bought poultry, I hardly ever buy it after watching a documentary on the raising, processing, and slaughtering of chicken and turkey. The whole commercial process is absolutely disgusting! The documentary is a little old (2009), but worth watching.

We had chickens when I was a kid, my parents had some of them processed.. I didn't eat chicken for years.
My SIL is from the Philippines and they eat bones there. They even steam fertilized eggs at 18 days and eat them.. Literally eating a chick. Um, no thanks. I also don't eat steaks, chicken, or pork if there's bones in it. At all. I can pick it off if I have to, but I don't eat the meat off bones. Cartilage, fat, skin, organ.. Gag.

Ewwww, this is grossing me out so bad! (wimpy pescatarian here!)

I saw pictures of those nasty egg/chicken things, it's GROSS, is it called like a balut egg or something? Ugh, that makes we want to hurl...
 
Balut. 18 day incubated duck egg! I've seen people eat these. They stink to high heaven and have their beaks and feet. Their f*ckin beaks and feet! (Someone told me it adds crunch.) :sick
You guys should love this then! :lau

The Westside Market in Cleveland has a booth where they sell bins and bins of chicken feet. The first time I saw it I actually took a picture and showed it to my friends because I couldn't imagine who in their right mind would buy chicken feet and what on Earth you would do with them. Well know I know......Ugh:sick

Our Chinese friends LOVE marinated chicken feet! I never saw the appeal, though I loved chicken tongue and heart.
 
I've got oyster and fish sauce in the fridge! I know what I'm doing this week!!!:drool

I can't seem to get the link to the kimchi recipe to work. Anyway I follow my grandma's recipe which is super simple. Most important things are lots of garlic & ginger

THE LINK IS https://www.maangchi DOT com/recipe/easy-kimchi not sure why the link broke.

Let's see, about a year ago I grew out and harvested 820+ pounds of chicken for the freezer. We made 90 quarts of stock from the feet and carcass of the cut-ups. A couple weeks ago we made another 50 quarts from left over carcasses.

I have about 3-4 HUGE stock pots, simply for making bone broth and stock. During the autumn and winter months, we drink it for breakfast or a late night *snack*, with a scoop of collagen. Nothing, and I mean nothing, tastes better than a warm cup of broth on a chilly night. well, except a hot toddy! lolol

Good for you! I wish I could do it. I try my best not to waste food but I don't think I could eat what had 'carcass' in it. I can't eat a chicken if it still looks like a chicken. So no rotisserie or wings here. (This started after I started raising chickens)

You DO realize, at any time you've eaten soup, you're eating something that most likely had *carcass* in it... right? :lau

Stuff like this is why I wanted to start raising our own meat. Once the law(?) passed that chickens could be sent overseas to China for processing :)sick:sick:sick), we stopped buying chicken altogether. We still have store bought chicken in our deep freezer, but only buy organic, locally raised and processed chicken (from the Amish) until we get our meat birds next year.
 
Work has definitely prejudiced & dictated my eating habits over the years. I'm fine with what others want to eat & how they prepare it, but just don't expect me to dive in with you. My mind starts flashing images of things from work to what food is in front of me. Some I can deal with, some I cannot. I get enough of organs & bones at work. Don't need to see it on the stove at home in a big stock pot. But I love the fact that people can reuse, reduce, recycle their resources so well.
