Going to have to increase the weights on the birds above. Scale was set to JIN, not Lbs. Next bird is 4.1 JIN, or 4.51# Last of the Blues. Pretty bird, just not what I wanted.

Oh she was awfully pretty. Get what you're after though

If I ever decide to breed for something other than my rangers, I'll try to recreate her. I think it was blue gene over SLW.

Took the white and the black (red necklace) from the new hatch. 1.65# (roo) and 1.48# (hen) respectively. 9-10 weeks.

Plans for those two as dinner?

In about three days, yes.

Tonight is likely french bread pizza

Still have no idea how you get such a clean carcass while skinning. I have yet to skin a bird without making an absolute mess of it.

I wash them with the hose before taking a photo?

Going to continue to right size the flock - my daught'ers multi-year boyfriend just took 60 eggs and the three older birds with him, so all I put in the fridge today was the two small birds. The next hatch is for my neighbor, which gives me a 4 week window until my next hatch.

In that time, I want to remove 6 black hens (all muts from last year) and all my SLW. PLUS my three darkest Roos - the one who'se mostly blakc with some red on the shoulders, and the two reds with the darkest chest shields.

Oh, and I've got to put a pair of bunnies back together, let them do their thing.

Will watch the red babies I kept from last hatch - I'm no longer convinced they are all boys - to see what happenbs. If I do have a boy in there who is at all promising, I'll also remove my all red Roo.

Need to remove some ducks as well... and two goats.

I need a long day of killin' that doesn't rain on me every 30 minutes to rightsize things again
