no it reminds me too much of me at the moment, scary real stuff!  its the black eyes ughhh

That is weird,  how old are your hens?  What type of pheasants do you have? I didnt know you had them too!   Was the turkey a broiler type that his legs couldnt hold him or something else?   Im sure he was delish!     I still cant do rabbits, just cant do them for eatin, Im a woos when it comes to them.    

What do you mean hot wire? I know run electric fence but  how do you set it up for pigs?   I would assume they still can dig under fence no?   That is what scares me about pigs, getting loose and taking off

Well everyone's chickens around here all slacked off at the same time :confused: The hens are about a year and a half and pullets are almost a year. We have what I think is a yellow golden (at least that's what Birdman said he thought it was.) we got him back in August so he's still fairly new. Yeah, he was a broad breasted bronze, he got too heavy. :drool
:lau I've only butchered one so far, I made sure not to get attached :lol:

Hot wire electric fence same thing (I've always referred to it and heard it referred to as hot wire down here) you set it about every 8 inches for maybe two or three strands. Generally if you train them right they won't cross it or dig under (unless you have our two that are going to freezer camp in wich case nothing short of cattle panels with three t posts per panel, rebar staples(homemade) in every gap between the t posts and hot wire around the bottom will keep it in.) That's the thing if that pig learns early that it can't get across the wire it will stay in for life however if it learns it can short out the fence and then discovers the pecan orchard down the road, best thing to do with that pig is send it to the freezer.
