The hens appreciate it when the rooster population goes down!2 male ducks less are much appreciated by the rest of the duck flock, too.

and you say you found this in a "homesteading book"??? What, pray tell, was the title, so that we might avoid the work as reference material in the future.

My birds LOVE when I process their siblings. It means treats. Hard to keep them from being underfoot - they will brave the electric fence to get involved, and have particular love for the trachea, gonads/ovary, and intestinal tract.
