For Bee and others that take out 1 bird at a time...

How do you process your single bird for cooking? I guess what I'm thinking is that processing would be different if you're doing one vs a whole batch.

I've never done ANY, so I only have book knowledge. But most of what I've read and watched via video is for doing a large batch at a time.

Anyway... I'd like to hear direction, see photos, etc., for the process for a single if someone is willing to comment.

great how to video! It also teaches how to do your own necropsy to learn.

I think Bee must be out taking her 6 yr. olds trick or treating, right now !

He seemed smart enough to learn from his schooling...sounds like a keeper to me!

We will see......, he does have some qualities, I am concerned he is a bit of flash for the predators. Fuzzy picture in the rain.

Nah...I just scared them half to death by killing the Snowman right in front of them. They were looking pretty nervous, just wondering who was next....

the picking of a good rooster. my rooster " good boy" who is pictured in my profile. good boy i was worried about at first. however he turned out to be a very good rooster. at first he was a sissy. the other two roosters almost killed him. i put him with the pullets . after some maturing the pullets favored him. so he stayed. after observing him his characteristics improved.i was pleased. he was a good choice.

this what i looked for.
1. how is his temperament with the flock.
2. how is his structure
3. manners.
4. how often does he crow ( and why )
5. how often does he mate ( aggressive or mannerly ) i like when he puts out his 1 wing and hops on 1 foot to impress the ladies
6. do the ladies let him mate.

this my criteria . yours may be different.
