Thank you all for the pictures! I'm a first time meatie raiser and the pics are very reassuring.

Mine got to 10 weeks, had to wait til we finished the chicken plucker.

they just went to freezer camp today, our first time. We did 11 birds. I did a before and after shot.

My meats at 4 weeks today
then My plucker I made the other day that will use to pluck those plump butterballs
The plucker idea I got off this site somewhere I hope it works as well as they say Because
It did not cost $5 dollars to make a few more than that and it wasn't that easy to make either
you really need to be handy to get that rubber through the holes that are too small.
But hopefully it will work for me I will post after I first use it and tell of my experience .

This is a great post I was starting to get worried my meaties looked small for 3 weeks but it looks like they are right on track!
