So the only quail I know are bob whites, which are not white. What kind of actual white quail are those?!?

Huh, maybe there is a reason why Joel Salatin can gut one in 30 sec to a minute. My 6 month old cockerels were pretty easy (but still took at least 10-15 min), the 8 month old was tougher, but not too bad. The 14 month old Delaware rooster was a royal PITA to process. He took me twice as long as the others.

The easiest ones I've done were 13 week old Delaware and New Hampshire Cockerels.

Joel does 8 week old CXs ,mostly.... He also does 14 week old cockerels and two year old stewing hens. But he doesn't talk about how long it takes to do the latter two... I need to email sherry and ask her about them.... DIL was complaining about broken bones as I apparently broke rib bones trying to eviscerate them. Tiny body and big hand don't go well together.

I’ve never uploaded a video so let’s see if this works.

My Olive Egger Shadow changes colors. I’ve noticed it before and it doesn’t seem to bother her in the least. Has anyone else seen a chicken be really red in the face and go pale and back seemingly at will?

The only color changes I have seen are from good red to purplepurple. The purple is followed by me freaking out.

Your Shadows color changing is a new one on me.
:confused:

I noticed she would come in to lay an egg and be really red in the face. She’s flighty so it was hard to convince her to sit in the box with me there. Usually I would leave her be but I saw her face go pale when she sat. I thought I was losing it but when another hen tried to jump in the box I watched her face turn red. I shooed the other hen to see what happened and she went pale again.
Weird:confused:

The custom processor here in TN is going to think I'm a nut as I will approach him the same way I did in VA... I bought half a steer to be custom processed, told the guy I wanted all the bones, Fat and kidney fat (and separate the two), along with the heart, liver and tongue. The guy who owned the other half was happy to let me have his bones and fat and had no interest in the internal organs.

We are gonna start saving the livers and ect...to make homemade dogfood again. Thankfully i dont have to have the conversation with a prosseser they may think of me as a crazy lady that lives out in the N. 40
 
Crap, the dog is having an allergic reaction to the vaccine i gave her! Her face is all puffy and she is panting and restless. I hosed her down because she seems hot, and gave her 2 benadryl pills. Also applied ice to her swollen face.
Wish i had an epipen. I need to figure out where the nearest emergency vet is.
