More like UN-dressed, then!

Don't look @AngBantamLuv -- this guy was about 2 1/4 pounds. Un-dressed crower.

I couldn't eat a pet.. but i do buy rotisserie that looks like that, just crispier. But i couldn't process them myself either.. it would be a quick route to vegetarian life! (Which might not be bad..)

Crower, not a pet. Male Barred Holland, a very rare breed that is meant to be dual-purpose, eat the boys girls stay and lay white eggs. I treat all my birds well. If these guys do not get eaten, they have no reason to live. No reason for people to adopt the breed and raise more. They are pretty good boys, as roosters go. Calm and friendly. Easy to handle. Here is one right before processing.
Edit: But he never got to watch TV!

Aww pretty bird. I don't disagree w processing, i just couldn't pull it off and hearing of some horrible rehoming situations for roos.. id process one if i couldn't vouch the new home before letting it suffer.

Unless people want them to breed, they have no use except to eat them. They are pretty uncommon, so no one has hens for the extra males. It is not as difficult to process these guys as a drake! About the same amount of meat for dinner, not as tasty as duck though. Still getting over Drake Day. No helper to take pictures, sorry. Before Drake photos are better anyway! #FreezerCampBoyz

My neighbor who went with me to pick up the NNs loves the Alohas, she was telling me she wants some without Naked Necks! You probably would not want to breed any of those for her, would you?

I plan to breed both of the regular Aloha's, and the Naked Neck version of the Aloha's also. I just have to wait until after these Aloha pullet's here are old enough to start laying egg's and they get big enough to hatch.

May 15 is the magic date to plant here, according to my neighbor, a lifelong Prescott native. One reason I have not gone and bought that incubator that I hear calling my name, I would rather not brood chicks, or ducklings, before then!

May 15th is 2 day's before my birthday.

Since they were saying on the new's last night that there's supposed to be a 40% chance of rain tonight or tomorrow, I decided that I better go to the feed store earlier this afternoon. I bought 150#'s of Layer pellet's. I was planning on doing it tomorrow, but I didn't want to have to fool with it in the rain.

@Parront Louie the Naked Neck rooster was just trying to breed one of the Silver Gray Dorking pullet's out there. She's so small compared to him.
