I am getting ready for my first freezer camp. I think I have everything I need to do the deed. But I do have a couple of questions if someone could please help me out.
1) how long does the bird need to go without feed and water before processing?
2) once the processing is done and the birds are resting in the fridge,how long do they need to be in there before they are tender and edible, and are they sitting in a dry pan or some sort of brine solution?
This first batch we will not be plucking, we will skin them. Partially because my first attempt with making a plucker didnt work out so well. I had an old drill press but it spins too fast and I cant dial it down anymore. Hopefully I will have a plucker ready by the time the 2nd batch of 24 are ready around July 1.
Im very happy that I have only lost 2 birds and both of them were accidental deaths. But i do have one roo that is breathing pretty heavy and I am hoping he will make it just 2 more days....
Anyone with some words of wisdom for my first freezer camp would be greatly appriciated...
