Gotta be careful those kiddie pools are a drowning hazard. If you provided a ladder they could have gotten out and not drowned. Hindsight is always 20/20 though. Maybe next time.

Makes dispatch much easier lol

I soooooo need to invest in a plucker!!!!!

You and all the rest of us!
I am just too cheap, so my guys get to live another week lots of times! I only process on Tuesdays, right before the trash pickup.

I never gave them a pre-process bath. Just dunk in the scalding water, pluck & gut.

Mine are dirty birds try to kill as much bacteria as possible

We actually buried the guts this time because trash doesn’t run until Thursday

He is helping, that's a good thing. I have weighed all the parts in baggies just to get an idea of what they were. I am sure they are huge! I kept a couple of the biggest to roast like small turkeys, I like them better than turkey.

We had a couple last year that rivaled our bb Turks in size!!!! these didn’t get quite that big this year but I attribute part of it to the heat

I have had some that I kept longer like you, they were 10 pounds dressed, a very nice Thanksgiving one year. Maybe next year, I am just re-starting after a long lay off from raising chickens. We did ducks this year, it is enough. But next year, I am thinking of some slow white broilers that are suited to this altitude!
