Well, I finally did it. After 27 years since I had processed a roo, we (I) did it this afternoon. It's soaking in the fridge and will be cooked with carrots and potatoes for Sunday dinner.

With the SuperMoon last night, he crowed CONSTANTLY. He was a nice sized EE... BWA X Cinnamon Queen. Problem is, he was 9.5 months old... hatched out on the 4th of July. Even after cutting into parts, he barely fit in the corning ware that we cook roasts in.
Two sons started helping me, then there was one and then there were none., but I got it done, wished I'd have had a serrated spoon to removed the lungs but it was all good.

I think I'll let my sons do the next one.

It's not always easy................ and like you found out, the help sometimes disappears a liitle before the job is done

............ but there's something right and primal about being able to put your own, home grown, and home processed, food on the table................. just one more thing to give Thanks for!

My test hatch is going pretty well for new layers. 3 of 6 welsh harlequins are good, 1 of two pekins is good, and one ? is good, as well as 7 of the 12 silkie eggs. That is a pretty good rate for shipped eggs that arrived in a completely beat up box. Thankfully they were packed well!!!!

We need to talk here soon. Did you come up with a price? I know you wanted me to, but I have never bought those eggs, and I have no clue.
