Hi all,
I am getting ready to process the 23 CX I have ready to go. I am borrowing a scalder and tub plucker from a fellow 4-H parent, and I am wondering if I am being realistic thinking I will be able to get all 23 done this weekend.
I have about 4 hours on Saturday to dedicate to this, and all day Sunday. This is my second go at processing, the first was our Thanksgiving turkey who weighed over 20 lbs and took me a solid 2 hours start to finish (most of that was time spent hand plucking the FLIPPIN pin feathers from HADES).
Oh, and they are 11 weeks old. I noticed one had some weird pin-like feathers on its breast, but I think the others are all downy.
