OK ,,,,,here we go ,,,,,,,,,,8 wk , Cornish X....started because we had a couple with leg issues.
CLEAN Cones
DIRTY CONES
THIS IS WHAT WE USED (KEEP IT SIMPLE)
My wife and her friend plucked and cleaned cavities.(no plucking pic ,but plucking was a heck a a lot easier than I was expecting 5 to 10 minute easy per bird> I made it out to be way tougher than it was,,.)
Request from a trapper friend<<<
HAD EVERYONE INVOLVED (I was proud he did didn't call P>E>T>A )
Kept the 2.5 yr old entertained with Ten Speed ( Jap) And Brown Shoes (Seabright). Can you guess which one is Brown Shoes?
OK here we go trash can was were we plucked,,,used bailing wire around legs then wrapped it around a nail. hung down with easy plucking feathers strait to the can.( Yep that is me)
Cones were on the opposite side,Kept things separate the best we could for cleanliness.
Started with 28 processed 14 birds in 5 hrs 3 people with 4 kids running around 2.5 yr old 3yr old, and 2- eight yr olds...
We stopped because we wanted the other to get much bigger than these. Most were in the 3.5 to 4.5 lbs.
Will pour the feed on the next two weeks for the rest of these. Wife wants me to get maybe 10 more for the the rest of the summer. 17 are already sold we got friend wanting more.
Will stagger next yr. Thinking of ten @ the first of every month next yr.March <April<May
Harvest 10 on June ,July & August...

Peace My Peeps,,,,,
