Ok well the deed is done. I am 23 chickens less. Took 3 1/2 hours with 2 helpers 1 of which is experienced. No numbers yet, still have cleanup.
This worked well.

Mud flap was too tight, it didn't work.
No I didn't put up plastic like all of you suggested. Yes I should have. At least I moved the 4 wheeler.

I used to go fishing for catfish regularly ,,,, years ago. Best bait I found was "CHICKEN LIVERS",,, I would stop at grocery store and pick up a container, about size of sour cream container, and that was more than enough for the two of us fishing. I also use a treble hook, because it held the bait on best.

And here is something for you for the processing you did today.

Spoiler: had to do what had to be done

What is blood bait?

Blood bait.... leave a pan of blood in the sun a day to skin, then refrigerate for 5 days to dry/coagulate. Put on like a worm. Under water it constantly gives scent of blood as it softens. Supposed to be even better than livers. Never got to try it.

You should take a handful, and keep in swim-trunks when swimming at Miami Beach.
