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!

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).
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?
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...
