How many did you process today & how long did it take you guys?

Wow NN I had never heard of the scent cups. What a neat ideal. Once again you are a wealth of info!

Sooner are you sure there aren't any sales close to you. Maybe at a livestock sale barn or a junk sale. Lots of times they will have a decent poultry small animal sale. I used to go to a great one in Tahlequh but it closed before I left the area.Might check your nickle papers and shoppers or even ask around at the feed stores. Or hey start one yourself. Might be a good money venture.

Hope Faeri is okay after the days butchering.

So Q what are you setting next? I should have some button quail hatch this week. I really messed mine up. I kept adding eggs(both button and bantam) for two weeks!

Now I can't turn the turner off so they will have hatch in it. Hope they don't get hung up on it!

OK, great! I will be able to figure out what we need now!
We don't have any small kids anymore--our kids are grown and gone--my "baby" is 25! But thanks for the warning--I will likely keep it off when we are outside anyway. I have had my fair share of accidental shocks...no fun!

Good nite all--be good humans! Monday is looming--ack!

Totally a beginner at this kind of thing... where would I find 3/8 screenings?

My dad cut the heads off and hung them to drain. P&B and I skinned and gutted them. We got to P&B's house around 1:35pm, finished the set up, started around 2, finished at 4:30ish. That included three smoke breaks for me in order for me to wash my hands and warm up (my hands got cold... I was using my smoking habit as an excuse to allow my fingers to warm up).

Oh, and there were 23 of them.

Hey Okla-doodle-do

I'm fine, didn't even get queasy today. Told P&B that I really had expected it to bother me much more than it did, but it didn't. I was totally ok with that...

Soooooo. After I get the sheds up & modified, think I might be able to beg some golden necks from ya?

Dolese might have it, but it depends on the yard. Most refer to it as driveway chat or screenings. Right now I don't have a phone book handy.

Oh, ok! I think I know what you're talking about now...

Like I said, my brain has already went to sleep for the night.

My dad was pickin' on me too, said I could get like 5 or something, raise them in my back yard, butcher them back there, and freak my neighbors out good and proper... I just laughed at him. Then I thought about it and it doesn't really seem like that bad of an idea...

Yeah, I can't remember what I was trying to bid on, but the auctioneer wasn't even looking my way

I remember that. You were bidding one minute, then he just stopped looking your way.

The only bid that counts anyway is the last one.

Next time, Carla, have Gerald jump up and holler "HYAAAAH!!!" like he was one of their spotters.
