Ha! I did not think I would find a bird-processing post funny, but I did.

You are much braver than I, as I don't think I would make a good assistant or plucker.

What are you going to do with those heart photos.....?

Congratulations on your first processing!

Glad you found the post funny. It helped me that I didn't like these guys much (they were serial rapists). If I had to process one of my girls I'd be a hot mess.

The heart photo... I sent it to my dad (ok, and I posted it on facebook, too

). Over the many years of my education I've dissected animals galore - the body is amazing to me so please don't think that I'm sick for that. I took a picture of the heart really because you could very clearly see the coronary arteries. I actually thought I might be able to use it when teaching students.

Thanks for the congrats, but I think I should be congratulated if I don't freak out and am able to eat meat tomorrow. I really don't think I'll have a difficult time with these but I'm certain I can't ever eat factory farmed meat again.

interesting package labels- took me a moment because I tend to read thread bottom to top and saw walkers first- thought that was the name of the bird until I saw the other labels. lol

Yeah my boyfriend was losing it towards the end. He actually started talking to the second carcass as he was cutting it up explaining what hewas doing to it. Then the labels. I'm putting him to bed early.

We picked up four new ducks today and the kids are so excited (and me too)!

too funny, was going to ask how your hatch went...do you have pics?

I only have a couple, but they are all tinted because of the red heat lamp bulb. I'm hoping to take them out in the sunshine and take some pictures

( hopefully the sun will come out tommorow!) 8 blue splash/silvers and 3 mixed colored ducklings ( so you could get a fawn & white, dark slate colored, beige or mixed color) I'll be able to tell more as their colors start to come in. They are a bunch of cuties too!

I have 2 chicks of different ages that I am growing out for a little while, and should be available soon!

Newest addition should be here in about 2 weeks as well....and I am ready!!! Very hard to accomplish barn chores being so "round" haha.
