Processing Quail Pictures- WARNING Graphic!

[UrbanMama]

Thanks for putting this up Niki...hubby'll be doing the killing, but I'll be doing the cleaning etc. I'm also a little leary about finding and pulling the insides

We'll see how it goes in a couple of months.

Well, no, it's painless essentially. So fast it wouldn't hurt. Knocking them out will still make them feel pain.

hmmmm. getting your head chopped off or knocked on your head until you pass out then get your head chopped off?

Really they are gonna feel alittle pain either way. I have it done by stepping on thier heads and a just ringing thier necks. I think its really just personla preference.

I have no experience with this, I litterally cull clean then prepair to eat. Is it a taste difference? Because if so.....I love fresh quail LOL!

Maybe someone else can answer?

Actually not a taste difference but you do this to tenderize them.

ah ha! well, they're pretty tender by themselves

less pain? stunning makes the bird not aware of the snip....i've snipped non stunned quail they cry (i only attempted it twice and both did their "OMG that hurts" before I was able to fully snip and yes the snip only took a second but they knew something was happening and they were scared....sorry no go. LOL.
