Butchering your roosters!

Sorry, that was on another post, I listed all the details. You run a rope over an over-head beam in the garage, put the slip knot over the feet, hang him with the bucket with coat hanger hooked into the beak like a fish hook.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Do Naked Necks taste as good as a Barred Rock or an Orpington? I see you have them from your signature.

I will hazard a guess that they all taste like chicken.

"Some are more equal than others"! The Cornish-X were less chicken tasting!

CX... Pah. Mushy little salt-flavoured things.

Here is a link to a thread about butchering a barred rock where I wrote out what we used to do:https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/aggressive-barred-rock-rooster.1191687/
look for # 7 in the list.

Currently I only have 2 hens. And have not successfully incubated any eggs from them. I was trying to breed them with a Bielefelder for better size and with better heat tolerance from the NN. I am considering getting a cockerel or some hatching eggs so I can get a roo. There are people on the Naked Neck thread who say they are really tasty, easy to pluck and take the heat & cold well.

I guess that I have to look for that thread. From what I have read, NN gene makes the eggs less hatch-able.

Skinning is much faster and easier than plucking all those feathers. Especially on adult birds and if you have very many to do it is faster.

But the skin IS awesome.
