Thanks, as long as he ends up dead, that is the main objective. I am going to try the broom handle method. Hubby usually uses a hatchet while i hold the bird. I plan to wait for the evening , when it cools off. He is fasting now, less mess that way i think.It is similar to a quail...but bigger!
plucking is different too. You could skin but then you miss out on the flavor from the skin.
I hope it goes well! Lots of help here if you need it too
