MysteryChicken's, Flock.

Planning on selling chicken pelts for Art, Decor, & Fly Tying. This will require me to slaughter specific Pullets/Hens, Cockerels/Roosters for their skins for this purpose. Meat won't be wasted of course.
Will be pricing by size, & color of the pelt.
I sell eating eggs, but thought this would be a good add on to my hobby farm, to help keep the birds fed, & cared for.

That's a neat idea. Are there specific breeds you'll be using for pelts?

Any really. Just processed a Red JungleFowl/Sebright cross cockerel.

Starting chicken pelt #2.

Will take a picture tomorrow. Took me all day on this one. I bathed it this time, & boy the water became dirty. Took forever to blow dry with a hair dryer.

Can't wait to see the results!

Yeah, once dried.

My first one is almost done, with it's salt curing. So pictures of the finished product soon.

Don't remember if I posted my Easter Egger Rooster here, or not. Apologies if repeated.
He's Silver Partridge with Autosomal Red. He's also blue, & incomplete Laced.

Also my laughing chicken isn't a laughing chicken. Turns out she's a cross between two types of Gamefowl.
She's a mean girl towards certain other birds, & when she gets mad, really mad she'll let out a crow, or attack them.
