I have heard grapefruit spoons are perfect for the lung-scraping task. I just returned from a pre-dawn transport of ten more chickens from here to the new coop at the Ranch. This time I included pullets; the roo/hen ratio is very off balanced and will be for a long while. I think I have two more cockerels and six more pullets to move, but those are all rafter and tree roosting birds, so I will need some assistance in gathering them. I have more than ten hens staying here....with Carl. Guess I didn't realize how many senior gals there really are in the flock. And then I have to plan for the Duck Rodeo, later on down the line. But today, John and I will be putting more "apron" wire down around the run, plus figure just how to cover the run with the netting.

Personally, I use my fingers, but as Ron said I've heard a melon baller will work. But as Linda said, my suggestion was going to be a grapefruit spoon since they are serrated at the tip. If you bent the spoon's handle, it would make it the correct angle.

I saw that someone recommended a serrated melon baller. Some of them are almost as expensive as the lung scrapers. I wonder if the dollar store would have either grapefruit spoons or serrated melon ballers? Maybe I'll check out Ross and Homegoods. I don't want to spend too much money just to try it.

Have fun working today! We are off to our homeshool co-op. I teach 2 drama classes this afternoon and the subject for the day is Why?, When? and Where? 3 good questions!!!

I'm going to look for some inexpensive ones to play with! I am hoping that the Bresse will be easier to process than the 1 1/2 yr old roos were!

Nice work on the move! So the ducks are being relocated as well?

That is quite fancy!

Love it!!!

We used to help my Grand Ma re upholster chairs when we were in High School. Her hands were too weak in her old age to pull the material.

You could find a nice old chair and fix it up too. The really old ones were stuffed with Horse Hair.

You can come help me then Ron. I went shopping for fabric on Friday to reupholster my dining room chairs. There were some really nice striped fabric, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get the stripes straight. I brought home some swatches to contemplate.
