Raising Layers and Meat Birds in the City
Makes sense! I wasn't criticizing, was just genuinely curious since I haven't tried to pluck anything more than 8 weeks old yet haha.I’ve not tried plucking yet at all…I’m typically only doing a handful of birds at a time, and all the setup (and tear down) for plucking would add significant time that I’m not sure is worth it, especially since I pressure cook 100% of my birds.
Also I’m not sure I could handle the smell of wet birds…I’m likely still carrying some trauma from that one time back in the day that my father in law decided we were going to butcher a bunch of old hens…when it was 90 degrees in the shade and I was 8.5 months pregnant. Zero stars, do not recommend!
And yeah, that sounds like a yucky experience. The smell of wet birds is already gross and in the heat... I don't even want to know!
