I work right across the street from the airport!!

Awesome! I have a couple of friends that live in Pride, I love driving around over there. We looked at property in pride, but kinda lucked into what we ended up buying.

Been there now for 6 about years and love it!

I purchased a small fig tree from Lowe's a couple of months ago but I won't have any figs for another 20 years.

The tree is about 1 foot tall.

I takes a while..

Oh and on the duck cleaning I find its harder but worth it. I would help you if I where closer..

Whiskey Bay, those are really nice!! What exactly do you u se them for??

They will be used for my older 'chicks'.I have some that are about 3 mos old that need to come out of the coophouse and be seperated into bigger pens.These (once finished) will be their pens.It will have nest boxes built onto the back (which I can walk behind and lift the lid for eggs) and trellis around the outside to help with shade while still allowing air through.2/3 of the top will be covered with plywood and the rest wired for sunlight and more airflow.I have heavy canvas tarps for covering the outsides when it starts to cool down.

Have fun!!

I have no clue! I know they've talked about it in the meat bird section!! Good Luck!

Thanks. I found several links discussing processing ducks. From reading the information, it sounds as if it is easier if you skin them, however they also mentioned that you need the skin to keep the juices in. Someone posted pics of skinned breasts and it looked VERY nice. I guess I have my work cut out for me this weekend.

What is the age of the youngest rooster that you have ever processed? I was so fortunate (yea right) to have sooooooo many new roosters hatched this year. I have to process them ASAP.

Definitely leave skin on, helps make a good gravy.

The only time I skin one is if the pin feathers are horrible, sure you wont have to worry about that. I repeatedly dunk them in scolding water as Im plucking.. A couple of weeks ago I cleaned the last three I had and my father in-law helped me, I finished two hens before he could finish the one drake.. I told him "father-inlaw (thats what I call him) you can keep that baby you worked for it" "As long as you cook it for us to eat"
