i had to help to butcher a pig before at my gradmas and the meat was like
jello it was still moving because of the nerves i still remember the squeling
i think you could of problably hear it a mile away
wow i did not know that they worked on cadavers
in nursing is it only for rn because my sister in law
is an lpn but i dont remember if they work on cadavers
if you dont mind cadavers a chicken or any animal
is a piece of cake and nurses are use to seing blood
my friend is a doctor and he talk about when they
worked on cadavers and the smell would stay on
his clothes the worst part he said was going to dinner
after school, i went to medical school for medical assistant
when my friend would put stiches and go eat a burger
afterwards i was like wow he has a great stomach
it was difficult at first but then i got use to it

No worries about fainting from me. When I was younger, my family butchered our own livestock, including cows, goats, chickens, and more. I had to carry the cow parts (they felt weird) to a deep hole to bury them. Also, a little TMI perhaps, I worked on male and female cadavers in anatomy and physiology when I was going for my nursing. Very interesting. But yeah, would love to learn how and get some hands on education. And, would love to meet some of the fellow BYCers!

Fuzzybird, you have some BEAUTIFUL chicks! So stinkin cute!!!

We painted the exterior of the coop tonight! Still a long way to go, but it is progressing nicely! =)

Shhh...don't tell Mikey, but "rounding up and estimating" is code for "predicting your future".

hopefully soon i can put together a
day to show how to butcher a chicken
it we be cool to meet a couple of byc friends
it would be cool to use a chicken plucker
my neighbors dad has a chicken plucker
but he wants to start charging 4 dollars per bird

You could buy a chicken from Bashas for that much!

Aurorarose, You gave me 6 paint eggs. All hatched but only one shows the spots. Will any of the other show up as a paint? I really don't understand what a paint is? What do you think of the little Vaulted head chick? Hope its a hen. Would like to show her. I am sure she if one of the full silkies.
The other 3 eggs died right before hatching. When I opened them up they looked turned wrong and dry. The air sack was large. None of the chicks was alive when I opened the egg. What went wrong? They sure looked full term?

Well Gang, I got 11 chicks out of the 14 eggs. 3 are not pipping yet. I am so excited! Thank you Aurorarose they are such beauties! I learned what the lump on the head is. Its called Vaulted Head. It dates back to when the silkies were bred to polish to introduce different colors. The Vaulted head is desired by some of the show breeders for it makes for a bigger more fluffy topknot. It is really the brain with out a scull bone. They can get hurt if they happen to get hit in the head. Never can you breed a vaulted head to another one for a fatal gene will acure. I may even have another chick with that but not as big.
PUFFYCHEEKS, LOVE THAT GOOSE TALE. WISH I HAD SEEN THAT! Here is pictures of my new peepers!

Congratulations!! You did great!! Mine are due to hatch on the 9th and then I think the 17th is the day to set again for the Easter Hatch-a-long.

 

[Fuzzybird]

I would love to do the hatch along but can't afford to buy anymore eggs.
