I don't know why you couldn't freeze for later processing, but it will be more difficult to pluck, and I suggest you at least eviscerate the bird before freezing just to be safer.

I wouldn't chance it. The bacteria on the feathers and feet could be a problem even if you sealed the uncleaned carcas in a bag. Do the deed, hang to drain, scald and clean the body properly and then refridgerate it. It's a whole lot facter to skin the bird when your eviserate (gut) it.

That would be us. I use a 10% bleach solution to both sanitize the eggs before setting, use water around the 100 deg F range, dip the eggs and then let air dry and don't rinse.

We use 1 tablespoon per gallon of water. We found out about this the first time we went through NPIP classes way back when.

Paint yer tires white, chances are you were trying to grow baked potatos. Putting a temp probe in one would be interesting.

Well, I'm home 14 hrs or so early. I dropped an appox 25 lb cardiac monitor on my knees twice!!!! Now I have 4 knees and two are black. Don't think I did any permenant or bone damage, just very deep bruises and swelling.

Ouch Kass! Why would anyone do that more than once?!

LOL I can say it wasn't the most brilliant thing I've ever done!!!!! In a hurry paying more attention to a critical pt then where I was placing the monitor.

Does anyone put a little bleach in the drinking water to help keep the algae down or am I imagining I heard that.
