GRAPHIC PICS of my day learning to caponize

My birds are getting bigger every few hours it seems... it's looking like I might mcguyver something up and grab a few of the bigger ones in a week or two to thin the flock a bit.

This is a big learning experience/curve. I better start getting my vodka soaking my meyer lemon zest for drinking after our first attempt soon. It's likely going to be needed by me & my bf that weekend.

Bahahaha Good luck on the processing. Vodka w/lemon zest? Interesting.

 

[Double Kindness]

Yes I make lemoncello with vodka, meyer lemon zest & juice & simple suryp. It's delicious and packs a punch!

I make all manner of infused cordials, I'm working on making a moonshine still. To make ethanol for making more gifts, as I get about 2 lbs of vanilla beans every year to make my own vanilla extract. Homesteading a bit at a time

Hmm, of course I threw out all my wire clothes hangers, but my bf has a metal working shop on our property and we have a bit of metal & a milling lathe & tig welder, we might could make something work?!

long shot here, but anybody got an "extra" Chinese set they can sell?

Hey buddy,

Glad to have you. I don't but maybe someone has.

 

[Double Kindness]

I'd be open to buying an "extra" set also.. my cockrels are getting bigger every day. If they start crowing.. uh oh.

To top it off, I'm almost 100% sure my 2 week old ayam cemani chick with no tail feathers and already getting a big comb is a roo too. So he needs to be caponized too, I want a big black meat juicy chicken for a holiday dinner..

thanks, Linda.

I think I remember someone saying Poco was going to put an order in w/ her China connection this month sometime.

 

[Double Kindness]

Yes, but I'm not patient. I have a double order placed I believe with poco. I just am looking at my itty bitty peep peeps and thinking "please don't start crowing". The sooner the better for me to caponize a few of these boys! My bf has now started naming them (oh oh)
