Finally got a photo of Rick with his girl's..

Does anyone know of a web site that you can type in the symptoms of the bird's to get a better idea of your issue.. I spoke to someone and they said it was not mites, but lice.. Golly,gee.. There was no egg's attached to the girls that I saw them on.. My problem was I was looking at the wrong girl's.. I did find only 2 girl's with some egg's.. Idk, any idea's.

Thanks! I made one yesterday and let him get used to it all day. He only crowed maybe 6 times yesterday morning and then not again all day but he was also very angry about the collar and walked backwards trying to get it off every time he got up. I made it from velcro and denim fabric and made it so my pinky could fit under it. I am up extra early today to see if I hear him this morning. I'll keep adjusting it as needed and hopefully I can prevent having to rehome him. He's so sweet.

It does take a while to get them used to being collared. It helps to start them younger not after they are already crowing. But if you put the collar on a young cockerel you might have to adjust it bigger as he grows.

Now I know I've been doing it wrong this whole time. I haven't had any wine while doing my butchering!!! That would make the whole procedure so much nicer! And a tortoise supervisor? What a clever idea!

Seriously though, it looks like you guys had a really efficient setup. How many did you process?

Yes the wine helps!

The tortoise Spot is more hindrance than help. He tends to trip people while he "supervises".

We did eight roosters and a drake. We just skinned instead of plucking, much faster. Though we get pretty fast after the first few.

Chicks all arrived safe and sound!! We are really happy about it! looks like we only have one rooster, based on size alone -possibly a barred rock, and another which is Murray mcmurray's auracana/ ameraucana mix that is also somewhat bigger than the other A/A's... It's obviously hard to tell right now. But we are excited to help them grow!

Hi, my blue Cochin and barred rock have been sneezing A LOT lately, and I'm wondering if they are getting sick or are dick. Thanks
