Linda- I'm going to practice on the 26 straight run chicks I have, since well, I gotta learn.

This is interesting and a bit intimidating. Subscribed.

Check out Graphic Pictures of my day of learning to caponize thread. The new version and tools on page 109 I'd read the whole thread if you have time. Poco Polo is the lady that I ordered the chinese tools from. They are the best.

Between freak accidents, illnesses, and egg theft by ground squirrels - I have to say the White Bresse have been the clear winner. Truly bomb proof birds here in Southern California.

I'm very interested in this. I don't have bresse but am thinking of buying them. Are they better than heritage white plymouth rock. Is the taste better? I've heard that they lay better.

I wish they were all boys. I just can't process the pullets. They lay so well

It looks like I need to order tools soon, how long to get them and how to contact the person with the tools?

Sorry I'm still very new here and trying to figure out how everything works and my devices lol

I just read on Breeding for Production and Meat thread that beef is going to be sky high this fall. Better get ready to process more chickens.
