FAIL ... 8 Stiches

I did that, I was processing a rooster, his name was "Joseph" because he had a coat of many colors. My neighbor complained so maybe I was mad that had I processed him. Don't process when mad. I nailed my finger not my thumb and got 3 stitches. By the way my doctor asked what the rooster's name was, I said "Joseph." He chuckled because that was his name.

Thanks guys! Good advice here!

@Overo Mare I'm not sure how it really feels because I'm taking Ketorolac (just an Nsaid, but the best one ever, so I'm good, lol).

I'm so right-handed that trying to do stuff and open things is a mite ridiculous. @ChooksinChoppers is the best!

Like you @gimmie birdies I didn't really want to do it, but with a plan for breeding I knew I had to get over that and practice culling cockerels. Well... I'm still not sure how I ended up cutting with my left hand over the right, except the "trying to get more of his neck out of the cone" part.

Good news is I had a guy message about the cockerels, so they left this morning to meet their fate at other hands

Oh Child!

This put the song in my head, "Ooh child, things are going to get easier"

Hope you gave him the thumbs up!

I hope things do get easier! And that is a very good song!

I also recommend a cutting glove. We use them at work amd only one person has ever cut through it. She took that one home as a trophy, but hasn't done it again.

Wow.

We've never had anyone cut through one, but we did have a burn-through once -- the cutting bar for the plastic wrap dispenser gets pretty hot.

To be fair, I don't think it was an accident, I think she purposefully cut through it to look 'cool'

My question on this has always been.. is it very fast considering the ratcheting part of the way these work? This would be a whole lot safer for me but I wonder if hatchet wouldn't be quicker for the bird.
