French frogs

It depends on age and weight, but I prefer to slit the jugular from INSIDE the mouth.

Try method 1 first.  I use method 2 followed by method 4 within seconds.  I don't have to scald the birds to pluck them if they are fully feathered.  If processing a large turkey, I use method #1 with a razor sharp knife and don't hold the bird, just swipe across the neck on both sides of the jaw.  

Thanks!!! I will check the link out!

They kept trying to eat it all up... and Crash took a flight in it and landed in a bank of it and just sat there... I think she was looking for clear land cuz she seemed peeved that white chit was everywhere...

Well looks like her name is more then appropriate then!

Oh boy, just heard from the guy with the quail eggs. Weather permitting, I plan to go get some on Sunday! e

No way, you want quail? The kids are dying to hatch quail! Are you going to keep them?

I think all blue. Maybe a black or two, but I think blue. The first splash did hatch, though, so that confirms that the blue hen with the splash rooster isn't the white egg layer
That's the pretty dark girl you like so much
In my mind, I would love to ski again. I was still good the last time I went. 20 years ago. Watching videos makes my knees hurt now
1800 reposado
Had a few of those tonight myself
Chambord is an anniversary drink for us, happy anniversary BTW. The first time I ever had it was on our honeymoon, and we buy a bottle every year

Chick update in the morning. Only 8 so far, with one wry neck

Sorry to hear that, I've heard selenium too and Vit e. Can't wait to hear your morning update! I have 7 out, 2 more pips. One is the wrong end and the other is the one I cracked and taped. I don't know if it can zip or not. So these two might be a challenge. Then one lone egg doing nothing. It's still alive but not internally pipped. It's pushing on the membrane but I don't have high hopes for it.

I know, It made me just want to hug you all the time and I know you are tougher than that. You can always go back whenever you feel like it. Pretty cool someone nominated you - you really deserve it! I was thinking about changing to this one, but knowing how coyotes are thought of on BYC, I thought maybe not.

I definitely like it!! But I know what you mean. I love ALL animals (almost) but that doesn't always fly around here.

I do not like them, and will happily shoot them on sight (we have to many here anyway). But they, predators, are nessisary for a balanced ecosystem.

Quail for the meat
And of course I'd have to raise some breeding ones to keep

Sounds like you are having a decent hatch!
Anxious for some pics!!

Morning K and all!
Snow is up to my knees!! Haven't seen an official measurement, but I stuck a ruler in it in the breezeway between my back door and garage and there's almost 13", so I'm sure its more out in the open.

Even my new run has a couple inches all over the ground, under the roof! Blowing stuff! Ducks and chicks are fine though.

And that was my 10,000 post...

I hit mine a couple of weeks ago.

And of course I did it here.

They are supposed to be amazing layers. I wasn't sure if you'd use them for hunting...but I guess Dudley is not a hunting dog!! that's what people do when they use them for hunting, right? Train dogs?

That's a lot of snow!! Are you staying in all day? They said the storm is supposed to miss my area. This morning it's says 6-10 inches. So I will wait and see but it has started!

Oh and I will get some pics!
